Lysophosphatidylcholine (1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, LPC) is the most abundant glycerol-based lysophospholipid present in cell membranes and oxidized lipoproteins. It has been proposed that LPC contributes to the altered vaso-reactivity associated with various cardiovascular diseases in whi...
