Atopic dermatitis (AD), also known as eczema, is a chronic or relapsing inflammatory skin disease characterized by repeated exacerbations and remissions. Here, we investigated the effects of squid phospholipids (PLs) extracted from Todarodes pacificus on AD. The composition of squid PLs was analyzed using thin-layer chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography, and the effects of PLs on AD were investigated using a rat paw edema model and an AD-like mouse model (NC/Nga mice). Squid PLs mainly consist of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylcholine (PC), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and arachidonic acid, which are bound at the sn-2 positions of PE and PC. Squid PLs inhibited rat paw edema induced by platelet-activating factor, a highly potent pro-inflammatory mediator. In an AD mouse model (NC/Nga mice), the topical application of squid PLs (1% or 5%) improved dermatitis of the ears and reduced thickness of the ears and epidermis in dermatitis, but 1.2% DHA or 1% soybean PC did not affect them. There results suggest that squid PLs, which mainly consist of PC and PE, and contain DHA, EPA, and ARA at the sn-2 position, may be useful for the prevention and treatment of AD.

Species mislabeling of commercial loliginidae squid can undermine important conservation efforts and prevent consumers from making informed decisions. A comprehensive lipidomic fingerprint of Uroteuthis singhalensis, Uroteuthis edulis, and Uroteuthis duvauceli rings was established using high-resolution mass spectrometry-based lipidomics and chemoinformatics analysis. The principal component analysis showed a clear separation of sample groups, with RX and Q values of 0.

The study focused on the extraction of valuable lipid compounds from squid () waste by a low-toxicity solvent mixture (ethanol/acetone, 50:50, /). The effect of the waste weight/solvent volume (WW/SV, g·mL) ratio and the number of extractions (NoE) on the total lipid (TL), phospholipid (PL), and tocopherol yields and on the fatty acid (FA) profile (eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid contents; polyunsaturated FAs/saturated FAs and ω3/ω6 ratios) was investigated. As a result, an increased NoE led to an increased ( < 0.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a global health problem, and EPA/DHA-enriched phospholipids (EPA/DHA-PLs) have been found to have positive effects on MetS improvement. Currently, research on EPA/DHA-PL mainly focuses on special and rare seafood, such as phospholipids derived from krill, sea cucumber, squid, and fish roe. However, it has been recently demonstrated that abundant EPA/DHA-PL can also be found in bulk fish and its by-products.

Phospholipids (PLs) are important components of physiological metabolism in animals and plants, and they have been widely used in clinical treatment, cosmetics, and industry. With the development of marine resources, marine PLs rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids have attracted increasing attention. As important marine resources, shrimp heads (SH), codfish roe (CR), and squid gonads (SG) contain a high PL content.
