Phosphatidylethanol formation in rat organs after ethanol treatment
Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta
|March 27, 1984
Abstract:
An abnormal acidic phospholipid was found in high concentration in kidney and brain, and also in other organs of rats exposed to ethanol by i.p. injection or by a liquid diet. The compound could be identified as phosphatidylethanol. Phosphatidylethanol is probably formed in cell membranes by a phospholipase D-catalyzed transphosphatidylation reaction.
