Abstract
Biomembranes play an extremely important role in maintaining normal energy production in the cell and in the transport of essential molecules. The individual components of the cellular membrane itself are not stable, but rather undergo continuous turnover while maintaining homeostasis. Phospholipids are an important element in these membranes and particularly in the brain where membraneous structures are numerous, they constitute a large volume. The metabolism of brain phospholipid is consequently a topic of great interest.
