Abstract:Phosphatidylcholine metabolism in blood platelets from the reserpinized rabbit was compared with that in the control platelets. A slight but significant increase in phosphatidylcholine content was observed in platelets from reserpinized rabbits. Incorporation of radioactivity into phosphatidylcholine from [3H]choline, [3H]metl1ionine or ["C]glycerol was significantly stimulated in the reserpinized cells. Thrombin induced a rapid and significant decrease in phosphatidylcholine content and an increase in lysopho… Show more
