title: Fluidity of chicken ventricular plasma membranes during development in-ovo and after birth: spin labelling and fluorescence studies.
abstract: The fluidity of isolated chicken ventricular plasma membranes was investigated by ESR spectroscopy, using three doxylstearic spin labels (5-SASL, 10-SASL and 16-SASL), and by fluorescence anisotropy measurements, using DPH probe. The analysis of 2T1 splitting constant and rotational correlation frequency have shown differences, during in-ovo development, characterized by a rigidification phase with a maximum at 19 days of development, just before hatching, followed by a fluidification phase after birth. These phenomena were also improved by DPH fluorescence and dynamical analysis of the hydrophobic 16-SASL probe.
