General description

DMAs are an indirect marker of levels of plasmalogens in plasma and may be used as standards for quantitation of plasmalogen in biological samples.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Dimethylacetals functions as an indirect marker of levels of plasmalogens, endogenous antioxidants. It plays a major part in oxidative protection and cholesterol homeostasis. Dimethylacetal may be used as standards for quantitation of plasmalogen in biological samples.

Plasmalogens represent a unique type of phospholipids characterized by the presence of a vinyl-ether bond at the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone. Peroxisomes are essential in their biosynthesis. Their suggested functions include protection against oxidative stress, participation in signal

The precise role played by plasmalogen phospholipids (PL) of lipoproteins and cell membranes is not well understood. However, they might act as endogenous antioxidants in defending cell membranes and lipoproteins from reactive oxygen species. A decline of plasmalogen concentrations has
