Biochemistry of Phosphatides

  • Chapter
Lipids and Lipidoses

Abstract

This discussion will be confined to a general description of the biosynthesis and degradation of the glycerophosphatides commonly found in animal tissues. Reference will be made to the glycerophosphatides of plants and bacteria for comparative purposes only. Even with these severe restrictions, it will be possible to refer to no more than a small selection of the many important papers that have appeared on the subject during the past few years.
