[HTML][HTML] Synaptic lipid signaling: significance of polyunsaturated fatty acids and platelet-activating factor

NG Bazan - Journal of lipid research, 2003 - ASBMB
Neuronal cellular and intracellular membranes are rich in specialized phospholipids that are
reservoirs of lipid messengers released by specific phospholipases and stimulated by
neurotransmitters, neurotrophic factors, cytokines, membrane depolarization, ion channel
activation, etc. Secretory phospholipases A 2 may be both intercellular messengers and
generators of lipid messengers. The highly networked nervous system includes cells (eg,
astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglial cells, endothelial microvascular cells) that …
