Abstract

A circadian rhythm of the content of total and individual phospholipids and of alkaline and acid phosphatase activity was found in the albino rat liver by biochemical and histochemical methods. The phospholipid content and enzyme activity were higher during the daytime (9 a.m. to 3 p.m.). The results indicate harmony between the structural and metabolic organization of the liver during the period of maximal functioning activity of the organ.
