Choline is an essential micronutrient critical for cellular and organismal homeostasis. As a core component of phospholipids and sphingolipids, it is indispensable for membrane architecture and function. Additionally, choline is a precursor for acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter, and betaine, a methyl donor important for epigenetic regulation.

Phospholipids containing oxidized esterified PUFA residues (OxPLs) are increasingly recognized for multiple biological activities and causative involvement in disease pathogenesis. Pharmacokinetics of these compounds in blood plasma is essentially not studied. Human plasma contains both genuine phospholipases A (PAF-AH (also called Lp-PLA) and sPLA) and multifunctional enzymes capable of removing sn-2 residues in native and oxidized PLs (LCAT, PRDX6).

We previously reported that elevated expression of phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase 4, an enzyme that regulates membrane lipid hydroperoxides, can mitigate sarcopenia in mice. However, it is still unknown whether a pharmacological intervention designed to modulate lipid hydroperoxides might be an effective strategy to reduce sarcopenia in aged mice. Here we asked whether a newly developed compound, CMD-35647 (CMD), can reduce muscle atrophy induced by sciatic nerve transection.

Context: Type 2 diabetes (DM2) is an emerging disease in the pediatric population. DM2 is associated with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are lipoproteins that are believed to have atheroprotective properties that reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
