We measured the amount of 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) and its fatty acid composition in hamster hearts of various ages because 1,2-DAG has been recognized to be one of the intracellular second messengers. The highest level in 1,2-DAG was detected in 30-day-old hamster hearts. The heart weight increased...
