Lecithins, egg

Lecithins, egg (Lecithins, egg yolk; Belovo PL 85) is a natural phospholipid mixture extracted from egg yolks. Lecithins, egg inhibits the activities of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Lecithins, egg exhibits antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, and helps delay cellular senescence. Lecithins, egg helps enhance nerve conduction, improve memory and cognitive function, and exerts positive effects on delaying neurodegenerative diseases. Lecithins, egg promotes lipid absorption and alleviates diarrhea. Lecithins, egg can serve as a high-efficiency drug carrier for preparing targeted drug delivery systems such as liposomes^[1][2]. In Vitro:Lecithins, egg (1.2 mmol/L) inhibits cholesterol absorption and transport in Caco-2 cells^[1]. In Vivo:Egg yolk lecithin improves maze-learning ability in young and old mice^[1].
Enteral emulsion containing Lecithins, egg (10 g/kg; p.o.; single administration) significantly improves lipid absorption in bile duct-ligated rats, with an IAUC of 849.8 mg/dL × h that is higher than that of soybean lecithin^[2].
Enteral formula containing Lecithins, egg (0.6%; p.o.; ad libitum for 5 days, then fixed daily amount for 5 days) significantly improves fecal consistency in Rattus norvegicus (rats) with short bowel syndrome, with lower fecal scores compared to formula without egg yolk lecithin or with added dietary fiber^[2].
