Effect of Pilocarpine, Carbamylcholine and Pancreozymin on the Incorporation of ³²P into Phospholipids in Rat Pancreas Tissue in Vitro

Abstract

1. In the method described in the text, incorporation of ³²P into phospholipids (PE, PC, Sph and Lyso-PC) in rat pancreas tissue was obserbed.
2. In the case of pilocarpine, the incorporation of ³²P into each phospholipid showed a tendency of increasing in comparison with the control.
3. In the case of carbamylcholine, the incorporation of ³²P into phospholipids generally increased, especially that into Lyso-PC remarkably in comparison with the control.
4. In the case of pancreozymin, the incorporation of ³²P into phospholipid showed generally a tendency of decreasing in comparison with the control except that into PC.
