Exchange of mitochondrial lecithin and cephalin with those in rat liver microsomes

The following facts were confirmed by detailed investigations carried out in vitro on the phospholipid metabolism in rat liver. Lecithin (phosphatidylcholine) and cephalin (phosphatidylethanolamine) in mitochondria could be derived from microsomes through exchange. The degree of exchange was greater...

Summary:The following facts were confirmed by detailed investigations carried out in vitro on the phospholipid metabolism in rat liver. Lecithin (phosphatidylcholine) and cephalin (phosphatidylethanolamine) in mitochondria could be derived from microsomes through exchange. The degree of exchange was greater for lecithin than for cephalin. The presence of the cell supernatant fraction accelerated the phenomena described above.
