Article Abstract
Circulating phospholipids have been considered as biomarkers and therapeutic targets in multiple disorders. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common inflammatory skin disease. Although there are numerous studies having addressed stratum corneum lipids in the context of epidermal barrier, little is known about the circulating lipids in patients with AD. In this study, we explored the changes of serum phospholipids in AD using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry and sought serum lipids' contribution to clinical status. Several serum levels of phospholipids were altered in the AD group (n = 179) compared with that in healthy controls (n = 47) and patients without AD with atopic comorbidities (n = 22); lipids exhibiting the apparent changes included increased sphingosine, multiple variants of phosphatidylcholine, and decreased ceramide (16:0) in patients with AD. Moreover, serum levels of sphingosine correlated with the severity of AD, and sphingosine and ceramide(16:0) were also detected as the risk-increasing effect and risk-reduction effect of AD, respectively. In summary, alterations in the serum concentration of phospholipids are seen in patients with AD. Although more detailed investigations will be needed to evaluate the significance of the changes in circulating lipids in AD, these findings can provide, to our knowledge, previously unreported insight into AD's pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies.

Cardiolipin (CL) is the signature phospholipid of the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it stabilizes electron transport chain protein complexes. The final step in CL biosynthesis relates to its remodelling: the exchange of nascent acyl chains with longer, unsaturated chains. However, the enzyme responsible for cleaving nascent CL (nCL) has remained elusive.

Introduction: Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a critical condition often requiring emergency intervention. Ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death driven by phospholipid peroxidation, plays a central role in its pathogenesis.
Objective: This study aimed to explore whether CoQ10 could mitigate intestinal IRI by suppressing ferroptosis.

Introduction: Barth syndrome (BTHS) is an ultra-rare genetic disease caused by a mutation in the gene, located on the X chromosome. This gene codes for the protein tafazzin, which is involved in the metabolism of the mitochondrial phospholipid - cardiolipin. Symptoms of this genetic defect include dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), skeletal myopathy, neutropenia, growth retardation, reduced cholesterol levels, increased serum lactic acid levels, and hypoglycemia in the neonatal period.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of phytosterols (PSs), alone or in combination with phospholipids (PLs), on dyslipidemia and oxidative stress, using both a high-fat diet-induced rat model and a randomized controlled trial in individuals with borderline hypercholesterolemia. In the animal study, Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups (control, model, PS, PL, and PS+PL) and treated for 8 weeks. The PS+PL combination significantly reduced body weight, liver index, and serum glutathione peroxidase activity, while improving hepatic and adipose morphology.

In contrast to low-density lipoproteins which are atherogenic, high-density lipoproteins (HDL) have been conceptualized as beneficial modulators of adverse pathophysiological phenomena along arterial walls. The HDLs are characterized by highly complex and varied molecular cargoes that include apoproteins, enzymes, microRNAs, bioactive lipids and phospholipids, components of complement, and immune factors, among others. These cargo components determine its functionality.
