The team established that an enzyme called LPCAT3 (Lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 3) is involved in the
biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine (PC), a type of compound lipid that is a major component of cell membranes.
PhosChol contains a special
type of phosphatidylcholine called DLPC, a biologically active form that's been shown to be highly absorbed in the body.
Lecithin works by increasing the cell membrane
ratio of phosphatidylcholine / phosphatidylethanolamine to cholesterol, maintaining cell membrane structure.
