title: Lipid peroxidation and fluidity of plasma membranes from rat liver and Morris hepatoma 3924A.
abstract: Plasma membranes isolated from the fast-growing, maximal-deviation, Morris hepatoma 3924A exhibit remarkable changes in lipid composition, lipid peroxidation and to some extent in the physical state with respect to rat liver plasmalemmas. A correlation appears to exist between the lower phospholipid: protein ratio, higher cholesterol: phospholipid ratio, lower rate of lipid peroxidation and decrease in fluidity in tumor plasma membranes.
