Abstract

The synthesis of plasma phosphatides in the fasting rat was reduced to insignificant amounts by removal of the liver. In cream-fed rats, the intestine contributed appreciable amounts of phosphatide to the plasma. The removal of phosphatides from the plasma continued, although at a somewhat slower rate, in the absence of the liver and intestine. The role of the liver and intestine in the metabolism of plasma phosphatides in different species of animals is discussed. © 1956, All rights reserved.
