homeostasis/metabolism
• liver and brain contain relatively less C38:4 species of each phosphoinositide class (PtdIns, PtdInsP and PtdInsP2), reduced C38:4 phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine levels, increased levels of C18:0 lyso-PtdIns and PtdInsP3 compared with wild-type mice
• however, mice exhibit normal levels of all other molecular species of PC, PE, PS and PA
