The Influence of Low Casein Diet on the in vivo Incorporation of ³²P-Orthophosphate into Individual Phosphatides of Rat Liver Mitochondria

Abstract

The influence of low casein diet on the pattern of in vivo incorporation of ³²P-ortho-phosphate into individual phosphatides of rat liver mitochondria was investigated.
The composition of the mitochondrial phosphatides showed no difference between low casein and high casein diet fed rats. On the contrary, incorporation of ³²P into lecithin was greater in rats fed a low casein diet than that in rats fed a high casein diet. The mean value was about three fold higher.
