Overview and Clinical Significance

Plasma phosphotides, also known as phospholipids, are essential components of cell membranes, playing a crucial role in lipid metabolism, cellular signaling, and cardiovascular health.

Clinical Significance

• Membrane Structure & Function: Phosphotides maintain cell integrity, supporting membrane fluidity and signal transduction.
• Lipid Transport & Metabolism: They are involved in lipoprotein formation, influencing cholesterol balance and lipid homeostasis.
• Cardiovascular & Neurological Health: Abnormal phosphotide levels are linked to atherosclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic disorders.
• Inflammation & Oxidative Stress: Phosphotides regulate immune responses, protecting against oxidative damage and chronic inflammation.
• Diagnostic & Therapeutic Applications: Plasma phosphotide testing helps assess lipid disorders, cardiovascular risk, and cellular health.

Plasma phosphotides are key regulators of lipid metabolism, influencing membrane stability, cardiovascular function, and neurological health.
