Portunus trituberculatus phospholipids

Portunus trituberculatus phospholipids (Pt-PL) are a natural product extract derived from the eggs of the crab, Portunus trituberculatus. This complex mixture primarily contains various phospholipids, including phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidic acid (PA), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and phosphatidylinositol (PI). It is also rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Pt-PL has demonstrated anti-obesity effects and the ability to regulate gut microbiota in high-fat diet-fed mice, suggesting its potential as a food supplement for managing obesity and promoting human gut health.
