Leukocyte Lipid Bodies - Structure and Function as "eicosasomes".

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: . Lipid body-derived eicosanoids function as both paracrine and intracrine mediators of inflammation. Based on combined proteomic and ultrastructural studies, leukocyte lipid bodies are complex organelles with internal membranes and ribosomes. Structurally and functionally leukocyte lipid bodes are distinct from lipid droplets in adipocytes.
