The lipid composition of rat-liver mitochondria, fluffy layer and microsomes

Abstract

The fatty acid compositions of the intracellular organelles of rat liver, separated by differential centrifuging, and the composition of the rat-liver lipids, have been described by Getz & Bartley (1961) and Getz, Bartley, Stirpe, Notton & Renshaw (1961). This paper describes the lipid composition of the mitochondria, fluffy layer and microsomes isolated from rat liver. A similar study has recently been published by Macfarlane, Gray & Wheeldon (1960).
