Abstract
THE recent report by Collins1 of the heterogeneity of lecithin labelled with phosphorus-32 is supported by results obtained by us as part of an investigation of the effect of ethionine on the incorporation of phosphorus-32 into the liver phosphatides of rats. This will be reported in full elsewhere but an experiment on normal rats, which is relevant to the work of Collins, is described here.
