Metabolism of Phosphoglycerides
Other contributors to this handbook already have clearly outlined the important role of the phosphoglycerides as components of membranes of the cells of the nervous system. This chapter is concerned with the m...

Biochemistry of Phosphatides
This discussion will be confined to a general description of the biosynthesis and degradation of the glycerophosphatides commonly found in animal tissues. Reference will be made to the glycerophosphatides of p...

Biosynthesis of Phoshoinositides
It is now known that brain contains three phosphoinositides, a monophosphoinositide (MPI)* a diphosphoinositide (DPI) and a triphosphoinositide (TPI) (Hörhammbr, Wagner, and Hölzl, 1958, 1960; Brockerhoff and Bal...

Biosynthesis of Lombricine
IT was previously suggested1,2 that serine ethanolamine phosphodiester (I) was the biological precursor of lombricine (II), a substance first isolated from earthworms by Thoai and Robin3. This suggestion was stre...

β-Glucuronidase Activity of Peripheral Nerve during Wallerian Degeneration
WHEN a peripheral nerve is cut, the portion of the nerve distal to the point of section undergoes a series of changes characteristic of Wallerian degeneration. The axon and, later, the myelin sheath are destro...

Lipids of Squid Nerve
Bear, Schmitt and Young1 have concluded that, in addition to a collagenous connective tissue investment, the giant axon of the stellar nerve of the squid, Loligo pealii, is also surrounded by a thin sheath rich i...

Lipids of Peripheral Nerve During Wallerian Degeneration
THE histological changes that follow section of a peripheral nerve have been described in great detail1–5. Hitherto, most of what we know concerning the nature of nerve lipids during degeneration has come from th...

Pattern of Recovery in Protein Deficiency
REPEATED plasma volume determinations on liberated Indian prisoners-of-war suffering from extreme protein insufficiency have shown that the constituents of the total circulating volume return to normal in a de...

Ammonia Excretion and the Clearance of Mepacrine
IT has been found that the urinary excretion of mepacrine has a relation to the excretion of ammonia. The simplest description of this empirical relation is that the mepacrine clearance from the plasma is dire...

Flavin-Adenine-Dinucleotide in Tissues of Rats on Diet Deficient in Flavin
Ochoa and Peters1 found cocarboxylase decreased in tissues of pigeons fed on a diet deficient in vitamin B1. Axelrod and Elvehjem2 reported a diminution of cozymase in tissues of animals on a nicotinic acid free ...
