Abstract

As reflected in the content of total phospholipids (neutral and acid) and the degree of change in thromboplastic activity (TA) as a result of incubation of brain tissue homogenates from normal animals and from animals treated with adrenalin, the brain regions studied can be arranged in the following order: medulla > cerebellum > cerebral cortex. The effects of adrenalin are characterized by a decrease in TA, i.e., by changes opposite to those observed in TA under normal conditions. The role of phospholipids in the formation of the various factors of the clotting and anticlotting systems of the blood is discussed.
