    Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate accumulation in brain of lithium-treated rats

    The mechanism of action of lithium as a drug for patients with affective disorders was investigated. Three-week-old male rats were orally administered 2.7 mEq Li2CO3/kg/d for 1 or 3 wk, and phosphatidylinositol (...

    Regulation of the biosynthesis of platelet-activating factor in alveolar macrophages

    Activities of enzymes which metabolize lysoplatelet-activating factor (lysoPAF) and platelet-activating factor (PAF) were studied in rabbit alveolar macrophage lysates. Substantial acetyltransferase activity w...

    Production of platelet-activating factor by human normodense and hypodense eosinophils

    Normodense eosinophils and neutrophils from normal donors produced considerable amounts of plateletactivating factor (PAF) when stimulated with ionophore A23187. PAF produced by eosinophils appeared to be degr...

    Phospholipid analysis of human eosinophils: High levels of alkylacylglycerophosphocholine (PAF precursor)

    The phospholipid composition and fatty acid profiles of human eosinophils were studied. Extremely high levels of ether phospholipids were found in this type of cell, such as alkylacylglycerophosphocholine (GPC...

    Alkenyl and alkyl ether phospholipids in pig mesenteric lymph node lymphocytes

    Significant amounts of alkenyl and alkyl ether phosphoglycerides were found in pig mesenteric lymph node lymphocytes. The choline phosphoglycerides are composed of 2.6% alkenyl ether and 25.7% alkyl ether comp...
