Abstract

The acute phase response (APR) is responsible for great changes in protein and lipid metabolism. For example, marked changes are observed in the metabolism of fatty acids, triglycerides, cholesterol and sphingolipids. Those lipids are partly recovered in the lipoproteins and subsequently in the plasma. Beside these lipid families, nothing is known about phospholipids and their synthesis in endomembranes during the APR. Our studies show that phosphatidylserine synthesis is stimulated during the APR and that this lipid is increased in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the ER-derived vesicles.
