Some studies on the biosynthesis of the molecular species of phosphatidylcholine from rat lung and phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine from rat liver
JM Vereyken, A Montfoort, LMG Van Golde - Biochimica et Biophysica Acta …, 1972 - Elsevier
1. At different time intervals after injection of [I (3)-3 H] glycerol, the incorporation of glycerol
into the various molecular species of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine
from rat liver, and phosphatidylcholine from rat lung was determined. 2. 2. The results
indicate that, in liver, a de novo synthesis is primarily operating in the biosynthesis of linoleic
acid-containing molecules of lecithin and of the hexaenoic molecular species of
phosphatidylethanolamine. An acylation of monoacyl derivatives of these phospholipids is …
