Labeled 2-aminoethyl [32P]phosphonate is incorporated into lipids of rat tissues. This incorporation, 48 h after an intraperitoneal injection, is maximum in the liver lipid (2.5O/, of the injected dose) and very small in the brain.After a second injection, 24 h later, urine excretion was about 40°/, of the first dose and only So/, of the second dose.The incorporation of aminoethyl [32P]phosphonate into lipids of liver subcellular fractions is maximum in fraction from centrifugation at 1000 x g for 10 min and similar for mitochondria and microsomes.Thin-layer chromatography was employed to demonstrate that aminoethyl [32P]phosphonate was incorporated into three lipids of the rat liver.The results show the formation of sphingophosphonolipids investigated after mild alkaline hydrolysis of liver lipids. I n addition, a low incorporation of aminoethyl [32P]phosphonate into lipids of rat liver homogenate was demonstrated. This incorporation was stimulated by the addition of CTP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
