'''Phospholipids''' are a major component of [[cell membrane]]s. ==Glycerolphospholipids== [[Glycerolphospholipids]] are [[glycerol]]-based phospholipids and are the main structural component of [[cell membrane]]s. Examples of phospholipids include [[phosphatidylcholine]], [[phosphatidylethanolamine]] and [[phosphatidylserine]]. Increased [[choline]] has been found in the certain [[brain]] structures of CFS patients, suggesting a possible increased oxidation of the cell membranes of neurons in these regions.<ref>http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0952327804000122</ref><ref>http://journals.lww.com/neuroreport/pages/articleviewer.aspx?year=2003&issue=02100&article=00013&type=abstract</ref><ref>http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1034/j.1600-0447.2002.01300.x/abstract</ref> Glycerophospholipids are hydrolized by [[phospholipases]] to produce secondary messengers called [[eicosanoids]].{{citation needed}} Alterations in glycerophospholipid have been reported in neurological disorders. These alterations result in changes in membrane fluidity and permeability.{{citation needed}} ===Phosphatidylcholine=== Increased [[choline]] has been found in the certain [[brain]] structures of CFS patients, suggesting a possible increased oxidation of the cell membranes of neurons in these regions.<ref>http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0952327804000122</ref><ref>http://journals.lww.com/neuroreport/pages/articleviewer.aspx?year=2003&issue=02100&article=00013&type=abstract</ref><ref>http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1034/j.1600-0447.2002.01300.x/abstract</ref> ==See also== ==References== <references> [[Category:Biochemistry and cell biology]] [[Category:Lipids]]
