Fatty acid (FA) desaturation and elongation enzymes are strongly induced when monocytes, elutriated from healthy donors, differentiate into macrophages. The analysis of lipidome profiles during this process found that polyunsaturated FAs and monounsaturated FAs in the PE plasmalogens are decreased and increased, respectively, and the profiles are similar to those of circulating mature granulocytes; mpi cell lipidomics https://lipidomics.creative-proteomics.com/cells-untargeted-lipidomics.htm
