Heterogeneity of Liver Lecithin isolated by Chromatography on Silicic Acid Columns

Nature volume 188, pages 742–743 (1960)Cite this article

Abstract

THE recent report by Collins1 of the heterogeneity of lecithin labelled with phosphorus-32 is supported by results obtained by us as part of an investigation of the effect of ethionine on the incorporation of phosphorus-32 into the liver phosphatides of rats. This will be reported in full elsewhere but an experiment on normal rats, which is relevant to the work of Collins, is described here.
