Membrane lipid composition of red blood cells in liver disease: regression of spur cell anaemia after infusion of polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine

This 1978 study investigated the effects of polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine (PPC) infusion on red blood cell (RBC) membrane composition in patients with liver cirrhosis exhibiting spur cell anemia. Eight patients received 2 g/day of PPC for five days. Post-infusion results showed a decrease in the cholesterol-to-phospholipid molar ratio in RBC membranes

Effect of intravenous polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine infusion on insulin receptor processing and lipid composition of erythrocytes in patients with liver cirrhosis

This 1992 study investigated whether intravenous infusion of polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine (PPC) could improve insulin receptor processing and alter erythrocyte membrane lipid composition in patients with liver cirrhosis. Thirteen cirrhotic patients received 2 g/day of PPC for 3 days. Post-treatment assessments showed a decreased erythrocyte cholesterol-to-phospholipid molar ratio and increased polyunsaturated
