Differential turnover of phospholipid acyl groups in mouse peritoneal macrophages
TL;DR: Pulse experiments with exogenous 3H-labeled arachidonic acid supported the concept that acylation of alkenyl glycerophosphoethanolamine occurs by acyl transfer from other phospholipids rather than via free fatty acids and acyl-CoA.

Biosynthesis and turnover of anandamide and other N-acylethanolamines in peritoneal macrophages.
TL;DR: In this article, the amide carbonyls of polyunsaturated N-acylethanolamines (NAEs), including anandamide (20:4n-6 NAE), elicit a variety of biological effects through cannabinoid receptors whereas saturated and monounsaturated NAEs are inactive.

TL;DR: Both Sr2+ and Mn2+ could fully substitute for Ca2+ with respect to optimum ion concentration and molecular species of the product formed in dog heart membranes from endogenous substrates and Ba2+ was equally effective in achieving N-acylation of ethanolamine phospholipids while other divalent cations were less effective or ineffective.

The role of cardiolipin as an acyl donor in dog heart n-acylethanolamine phospholipid biosynthesis
TL;DR: The data indicate that cardiolipin is the major source of linoleic acid used in the N-acylation of ethanolamine phospholipids by transacylase activity.

Effects of oxidative stress on glycerolipid acyl turnover in rat hepatocytes
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that constitutive recycling of membrane phospholipids rather than selective in situ repair eliminates peroxidized species of PC and PE, and TAG could serve as an expendable fatty acid reserve, providing a limited but very dynamic pool of polyunsaturated fatty acids for the resynthesis of phospholIPids.
