Abstract
Effects of adenosine phosphates on lipid synthesis were studied in singular aortic cell culture system, in which a linear relation was shown between the 14C-acetate incorporation and incubation time over 6 hours. Adenosine triphosphate promoted 14C-acetate incorporation into cultured chick aortic intimal cells. The incorporation rate was greater in neutral fat and sterol fraction than in phospholipid fraction. Adenosine mono- and diphosphates as well as adenosine triphosphate accelerated lipid synthesis to the same extent in the aortic cell culture environment.
