Phospholipid metabolism in bile duct-ligated rat plasma and erythrocytes.
Incorporation of [32P]orthophosphate into phosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylcholine and molecular species of phosphatidylcholine in vivo was observed in liver, plasma and erythrocytes of bile duct-ligated or sham-operated rats. Both the amount and radioactivity of dienoic species of phosphatidylcholine in all tissues examined increased in bile duct-ligated rats as compared to sham-operated rats. The experiments in vivo and in vitro showed that the ratio of lysophosphatidylcholine to phosphatidylcholine transferred to erythrocytes from plasma in sham-operated rats was much higher than that in bile duct-ligated rats. It is suggested that one of the mechanisms by which abnormal erythrocytes appear might be explained by the facilitated and direct transfer of phosphatidylcholine, which is caused by the interaction of erythrocytes with bile acid in bile duct-ligated rat plasma.
