Abstract: | The phospholipid molecular species from a large-scale preparation of human placenta lipids were analyzed. The major placental
phospholipids were choline glycerophospholipids (CPL) (53.2 wt%), sphingomyelin (21.7 wt%) and ethanolamine glycerophospholipids
(EPL) (14.6 wt%). 1,2-Diacyl-glycerophosphocholine was the most abundant subclass of CPL (91.7 mol%), while EPL contained
1,2-diacyl (54.6 mol%) and 1-alk-1′-enyl-2-acyl (43.8 mol%) subclasses. The level of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in
total phospholipids was remarkably constant (38.4–39.9 mol%) within all placental batches tested. The long-chain PUFA, mainly
20∶4n−6 and 22∶6n−3 of the n−6 and n−3 series, respectively, were found in high proportion in all phospholipid classes, especially
in EPL (46.7 mol%) and in inositol glycerophospholipids (IPL) (39.9 mol%). CPL and serine glycerophospholipids were much richer
in 18∶1n−9 and 18∶2n−6. High levels of molecular species with arachidonic acid in thesn-2 position were found particularly in 1-alk-1′-enyl-2-acyl-glycerophospho-ethanolamine (with 24.0 mol% 16∶0 and 22.0 mol%
18∶0 insn-1 position) and in 1,2-diacyl glycerophosphoinositol with 42.6 mol% 18∶0 insn-1 position. EPL subclasses were rich in 22∶6n−3, which occurs mainly as 16∶0/22∶6n−3 (11.7 mol%) in the polasmalogen form
and as 18∶0/22∶6n−3, 16∶0/22∶6n−3 and 18∶1/22∶6n−3 in the diacyl forms. Based on their availability and composition, placental
phospholipids could be of interest, for example, for supplementing artificial milk preparations with n−3 and n−6 long-chain
PUFA for newborn infants with insufficiently developed 18∶2n−6 and 18∶3n−3 desaturation/elongation. |
