lyso-|ˈlaɪsəʊ|a comb. form of lysis (sense 3), used to form various biological and biochemical terms, as lysoˈlecithin Biochem., any compound obtained from a lecithin by the hydrolytic removal of one of the two fatty acid groups.1923Levene & Rolf in Jrnl. Biol. Chem. LV. 743 Thus the product was a mixture of several substances, which we propose to name lysolecithin and lysocephalin. Inasmuch as lecithins differ in the nature of their saturated fatty acids, it is probable that there exist several lysolecithins.1972Sci. Amer. Jan. 88/3 Lecithin, like the bile salts, is synthesized by the liver, and after it is secreted into the small intestine an enzyme secreted by the pancreas converts lecithin to lysolecithin. This substance breaks up cells by removing the lipids from their membranes.
