Cold stress influence on lung lecithin in the newborn rabbit. 1979

L C Mims, and J A Pascale

Term, food-water deprived newborn rabbits exposed to a cold environment for 48 h demonstrated a significant decrease in total lung lipid (p less than 0.01), total triglyceride (p less than 0.001), total phospholipid (p less than 0.05), and total phosphatidylcholine (p less than 0.025). Disaturated phosphatidylcholine remained unchanged. Fatty acid methyl esters of total and disaturated phosphatidylcholine were not influenced by cold stress. Likewise, there was no alteration in pulmonary function as determined by deflation pressure-volume relationships.

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
D011817	Rabbits	A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

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.
