[The phospholipid metabolism of adipocyte plasma membranes in hemorrhagic shock in cats]. 1990

G F Leskova, and L B Su, and V I Udovichenko

The mechanisms of functional disorders in adipocytes were studied on models of hemorrhagic shock. Injection of heparin as an anticoagulant caused regional differences in animals in phosphatidylethanolamine metabolism in the plasma membranes of adipocytes of the subcutaneous fat and those of the abdominal fat (omentum). The disorders of phospholipid metabolism in the plasma membranes of adipocytes of the subcutaneous and abdominal fat in hemorrhagic shock were unidirectional and associated with intensified breakdown of phosphatidylinositol.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009852	Omentum	A double-layered fold of peritoneum that attaches the STOMACH to other organs in the ABDOMINAL CAVITY.	Omentums
D010743	Phospholipids	Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system.	Phosphatides,Phospholipid
D002415	Cats	The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

D000273	Adipose Tissue	Specialized connective tissue composed of fat cells (ADIPOCYTES). It is the site of stored FATS, usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES. In mammals, there are two types of adipose tissue, the WHITE FAT and the BROWN FAT. Their relative distributions vary in different species with most adipose tissue being white.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012771	Shock, Hemorrhagic	Acute hemorrhage or excessive fluid loss resulting in HYPOVOLEMIA.	Hemorrhagic Shock
