Lysophosphatidylcholines

Description: Lysophosphatidylcholines (Lyso-Lecithins (egg)) are orally active lipids that induce cell damage and apoptosis, and induce demyelination. Lysophosphatidylcholines play a role in mediating inflammation, fibrosis, and cancer, and can be used to study atherosclerosis. Target: Apoptosis.
