“…PAFAH2 is a hydrolase, which was described as being able to cleave a variety of acyl-chains from phospholipids, thus functioning as a phospholipase [47]. More recently, it was shown that PAFAH2 preferentially removes oxidized phospholipids, fulfilling a protective role under oxidative stress [48]. Since the numerous peroxisomal oxidases continuously produce H 2 O 2 , phospholipid oxidation of the inner leaflet of the peroxisome membrane may be a major threat to maintaining physiological membrane properties of the organelle.…”

“…Indeed, there is a wide consensus that atherosclerosis and low-grade inflammation are, although often subclinical, conditions associated with cognitive decline in the elderly [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. High Lp-PLA2 reflects in enhanced phospholipid hydrolysis, high contents of oxidized non-esterified fatty acids and PLs are produced, which promote expression of adhesion molecules, stimulate cytokine production (TNF-α, IL-6), and attract macrophages to the arterial intima [ 33 , 34 , 35 ]. This exacerbates endothelial dysfunction and accelerates the growth of the plaque and, eventually, the formation of a necrotic core [ 14 ].…”
