Abstract
Supplementation of culture medium with elaidic acid (40 micrograms/ml) resulted in the incorporation of this acid into 50% of the acyl groups of phospholipids in L-M cells; elaidate was esterified at both the sn-1 and the sn-2 positions of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. In addition, elaidate supplementation of L-M cells induces the accumulation of free fatty alcohols, alkyldiacylglycerols and wax esters/cholesterol esters. The concentration of intracellular free fatty alcohols increased as a function of the concentration of elaidic acid in the growth medium and the duration of exposure. However, the concentration of alcohol-containing lipids, total alkyl and alk-1-enyl lipids, was only slightly decreased. This decrease was much less than the increase in the level of free fatty alcohols. Therefore, we conclude that when elaidic acid is supplemented to L-M cells in culture, a net increase in the production of free fatty alcohols occurs.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid is oxidatively metabolized by rat liver microsomes at a rate of approximately 5 nmol per min per mg of protein at 25 degrees C. This reaction is dependent on the presence of NADPH and oxygen. Studies with various inhibitors indicate a role for membrane-bound cytochrome P-450 in the transformation of arachidonic acid to a mixture of hydroxy acid derivatives. The stoichiometry of the reaction conforms to that of a monooxygenase reaction--i.e., one mole of NADPH is oxidized per mole of oxygen utilized--suggesting a reaction mechanism different from that proposed for lipid peroxidation reactions. No evidence for the formation of prostaglandin-like metabolites was obtained. The diene character of some of the metabolites formed suggests another role for cytochrome P-450--i.e., participation in hydrogen abstraction reactions for the activation of various substrates.

Abstract
1. The motional properties of phospholipids in bovine and rat liver microsomes and aqueous dispersions of the extracted lipids have been investigated employing 31 P NMR techniques. 2. The 31P NMR spectra obtained from the microsomes indicate that a considerable portion of the constituent phospholipids experience isotropic motion on the NMR timescale (10(-5) s). This is in strong contrast to the spectra obtained from aqueous dispersions of the extracted lipids, which display the characteristic lineshape associated with liquid crystalline phospholipids in (large) bilayer structures, which experience restricted anisotropic motion. 3. Evidence is presented which strongly suggests that the isotropic motion of microsomal phospholipids does not arise from tumbling of the microsomal vesicles or from lateral diffusion of phospholipids around these vesicles. 4. These results are discussed in terms of possible transitory formation of intramembrane non-bilayer lipid configurations, with which the bulk (bilayer) phospholipids are in rapid exchange.

Abstract
The turnover of lipid was examined in the livers of 6-, 12- and 24-month old rats. Heterogeneity of turnover was noted for each membrane fraction. The lipid turnover rate was highest in 12-month old rats and was the same in 6- and 24-month old rats. The higher rate of lipid turnover at 12 months was observed in both the neutral and polar lipid components of the liver membranes. In the polar lipid fractions isolated from the microsomal and mitochondrial membranes the increase in lipid turnover rate at 12 months was related to increase in the turnover of phosphatidylethanolamine.

Abstract
The lipid contents of the microsomal and mitochondrial membrane fractions of liver and kidney were determined in 6 and 24 month old rats. A significant age related increase in the molar ratio of cholesterol/phospholipid was observed in all membrane fractions. A significant age related reduction of phospholipid was noted in the microsomal fractions of liver and kidney. The relative amount of phosphatidylethanolamine was found to decrease in all membrane fractions during aging. Membrane glyceride content, however, remained relatively constant with age. Significant increase in oleic acid was seen in the neutral lipid of both liver and kidney and in the polar lipid of kidney. Significant increase in docosahexaenoic acid and significant decrease in linoleic acid were seen in the polar lipid of the liver membrane fractions. Possible alterations in membrane physiochemical properties and in membrane function due to these age related lipid changes are discussed.

Abstract
Phospholipase A1, A2 and lysophospholipase activities in microsomes of Novikoff hepatoma host rat liver and regenerating rat liver were compared using 1-[9', 10'-3H2]palmitoyl-2-[1'-14C] linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, 1-[1' -3H-]hexadecyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, and 1-[9', 10'-3H2]palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine as substrates. 1. Microsomes of all three tissues showed two pH dependent peaks of hydrolytic activity, one at pH 7.5 and another at pH 9.5. 2. Phospholipid hydrolytic activity in microsomes from host liver and regenerating liver require Ca2+ for hydrolysis at pH 9.5, but not at pH 7.5. Hepatoma microsomes require Ca2+ for activity at both pH values. 3. Phospholipase A1 activity, stimulated by addition of Triton X-100 to the incubation mixtures, was detected in both host liver and regenerating liver microsomes. There was no evidence of phospholipase A1 activity in hepatoma microsomes. 4. Phospholipase A2 was detected in microsomes of all three tissues using 1-[1'-3H] hexadecyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine as a substrate. The activity required calcium and was inhibited by Triton X-100. 5. Lysophospholipase activity was evident in the microsomes from all three tissues. The activity was inhibited by both Ca2+ and Triton X-100. 6. Differences were also detected between host liver and hepatoma microsomal phospholipid hydrolase activities with respect to the effect of increasing protein concentration, apparent Michaelis-Menten constants, and time course of the reaction.

Abstract
Human fibroblasts of both fetal and adult origin incorporated [1-14C] acetate primarily into phospholipid acyl groups (70-80% of total radioactivity). When these labeled cells were replated in non-radioactive medium, there was continuous loss of 14C from steroids, triacylglycerols and non-lipid material. In contrast, after some initial loss, cell lines of fetal origin completely retained 14C in cellular phospholipids during continued cell division. Unlike cells of fetal origin, fibroblasts of adult origin continued to lose radioactivity from their phospholipid acyl groups during growth in unlabeled medium. Loss of radioactivity from [1-3H] acetate incorporated into phospholipids of adult cells cannot be attributed to cell death since it was not accompanied by any loss of previously incorporated [ME-14C] thymidine. If cellular phospholipids were labeled with [U-14C] glycerol, both fetal and adult fibroblasts continued to lose radioisotope from the cells during growth in nonradioactive medium. Thus, there is turnover of the phospholipid molecules themselves in fetal human fibroblasts grown in vitro, but their acyl groups are retained within cellular phospholipids. In this respect, fibroblasts of fetal origin resemble established cell lines such as the L fibroblast. Fibroblasts of adult origin do not exhibit this complete conservation of their phospholipid acyl groups.

Abstract
Following intraperitoneal administration of 1-14C-linoleic acid or 2-3H-acetate to rats, the specific radioactivities of both liver cardiolipin and other mitochondrial phospholipids after different time intervals were measured. Comparison of the data obtained with those from another stock of rats treated with 32P-phosphate or 2-3H-glycerol showed that the fatty acids of cardiolipin, like those of other phospholipids, exhibit an independent turnover with respect to the remaining parts of the molecule. The half-life of acyl moieties of cardiolipin is ca. 20% higher than that of the same components of other mitochondrial phospholipids. Moreover, it appears that, in both cardiolipin and other phospholipids, linoleyl residues turn over faster than nonessential fatty acids. Discussion is made as to whether this characteristic can be related to the role of phospholipids in the functioning of some enzymes bound to the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Abstract
An unnatural phospholipid, phosphatidyl-N-isopropylethanolamine, was isolated from rat liver after intraperitoneal injections of N-isopropylethanol-amine; it was identified on the basis of enzymic, chemical, and chromatographic analyses. Although this phospholipid was formed at the expense of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, its fatty acid composition did not resemble either of these lipids. Microsomes, mitochondria, and plasma membranes contained significant amounts (up to 9%) of this unusual phospholipid. Radioisotope incorporation experiments suggest that the N-isopropylethanol-amine containing phospholipid is rapidly equilibrated between microsomes and mitochondria and more slowly with surface membranes.

Abstract
The role of bile canalicular and microsomal membranes in the synthesis and transport of biliary lipids was investigated by using the isolated perfused rat liver model. Labeled lecithin precursors ((3H)-palmitic acid, (14C)linoleic acid, (3H)choline, and 32PO4) and a cholesterol precursor ((3H)mevalonic acid) were administered with and without sodium taurocholate. The incorporation pattern of these labeled precursors into linoleyl and arachidonyl lecithins and cholesterol fractions of microsomes, bile canaliculi, and bile were examined at 30-min intervals up to 90 min. Marker enzymes and electron microscopy indicated that isolated subfractions of plasma membranes were enriched with bile canaliculi (less than 10 percent microsomal contamination). Taurocholate significantly stimulated the incorporation of 32PO4, (3H)choline, (3H)palmitic acid, and (14C)linoleic acid into linoleyl and arachidonyl lecithin with parallel incorporation curves for microsomal and bile canalicular membranes throughout the 90-min study period. During the 30-60-min period, however, these same lecithin fractions in bile significantly exceeded the specific activity of the membrane lecithins. The enzyme CDP-choline diglyceride transferase was virtually absent from canaliculi relative to microsomes, indicating that canaliculi lack the capacity for de novo lecithin synthesis. Incorporation of (3H)mevalonic acid into membranous and biliary cholesterol followed a pattern similar to that for lecithin. These data provide evidence that (a) biliary lecithin and cholesterol are derived from a microsomal subpool regulated by the flux of enterohepatic bile acids, (b) the role of the bile canalicular membranes with respect to biliary lipids is primarily transport rather than synthesis, and (c) lecithin and cholesterol are transported together from microsomes to bile. The findings are consistent with the existence of a cytoplasmic lipid complex within the hepatocyte which is actively involved in the intermembrane transport of biliary lipid.
