title: Influence of carbicron (O-[(2-butenoic acid)-N,N-dimethylamide-3-yl] O,O-dimethylphosphate) on some biochemical and biophysical parameters of rat liver membranes.
abstract: 1. Treatment of rats with carbicron induced a reduction of the phospholipids in both microsomal and plasma membranes. 2. A decrease of the structural order parameter (SDPH) and an increase of the pyrene excimer-to-monomer fluorescence ratio (IE/IM) was also observed, indicating membrane fluidization. 3. The specific activity of membrane-bound phospholipase A2 and phospholipase C were decreased in both types of membranes, whereas acyl-CoA:lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase activity was augmented due to carbicron treatment.
