Effect of Epinephrine on the Metabolism of the Inositol Phosphatides in Rat Heart in vivo

Abstract

EARLY work by Huggins and Cohn1 has shown that a “phosphatidepeptide-like” fraction can be obtained from kidney, heart, salivary glands and other secretory organs. More recently, Andrade and Huggins2 presented data which show that the “phosphatidepeptide-like” fraction contains inositol mono-, di-, and tri-phosphate, which suggests that this fraction could properly be called a phosphoinositide complex.
