Effects of hypolipidemic agents on lipid synthesis in subcellular fractions from Tetrahymena pyriformis.
Lipid synthesizing systems have been prepared from subcellular fractions of Tetrahymena pyriformis, GL. These fractions, the mitochondrial fraction, the microsomal fraction and the soluble cell fraction, have been characterized as to cofactors and cations required for optimal lipid synthesis. The effects of hypolipidemic agents on lipid synthesis by all fractions are presented.
