Development of lipidic composition of neonatal chick liver and intestine microsomes: changes induced by cholesterol feeding. 1985

M J Alejandre, and M F Zafra, and H Ramirez, and J L Segovia, and E Garcia-Peregrin

Changes in cholesterol and phospholipid content of chick liver and intestine microsomes were studied throughout the two first weeks of life. Differences observed throughout postnatal development were mainly due to the free cholesterol. Cholesterol feeding resulted in a clear increase of the amounts of both free and esterified cholesterol. Phospholipid content of chick liver and intestine microsomes did not change significantly after hatching. Phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine were found to be the major phospholipids. Although the amount of each phospholipid could be affected by cholesterol feeding, its relative percentage did not change by this treatment.

D008861 Microsomes Artifactual vesicles formed from the endoplasmic reticulum when cells are disrupted. They are isolated by differential centrifugation and are composed of three structural features: rough vesicles, smooth vesicles, and ribosomes. Numerous enzyme activities are associated with the microsomal fraction.

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.
