D-galactosamine induced changes in rat liver plasma membranes lipid composition and some enzyme activities. 1987

D H Petkova, and A B Momchilova, and T T Markovska, and K S Koumanov

The influence of D-galactosamine administration on rat liver plasma membranes lipid composition, fluidity and some enzyme activities was investigated. D-Galactosamine was found to induce an increase of the total phospholipids, the cholesterol level and membrane rigidity. In liver plasma membranes of D-galactosamine-treated rats the exogenous phospholipase A2 activity was enhanced about 2 fold, whereas the endogenous activity was slightly decreased. No alteration of the neutral sphingomyelinase activity was observed.

D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D008297 Male Males
D008563 Membrane Lipids Lipids, predominantly phospholipids, cholesterol and small amounts of glycolipids found in membranes including cellular and intracellular membranes. These lipids may be arranged in bilayers in the membranes with integral proteins between the layers and peripheral proteins attached to the outside. Membrane lipids are required for active transport, several enzymatic activities and membrane formation.
