| Lipid Metabolism of Ehrlich Ascites Tumor Cells Grown in Chemically Defined Albumin Medium  | | | | Abstract
| Total lipids o f Ehrlich ascites tumor cells grown in nutrient medium supplemented with 1% bovine serum albumin instead o f 15% native horse serum and rate o f incorporation of [3H] acetate into total lipids are reduced, while the cholesterol content of the cells is higher than of controls grown in normal medium. The lower lipid content o f cells cultured in albumin supplemented medium is explained by a lack o f exogenous lipids, which are normally taken up from the serum containing nutrient medium. A several fold increase of incorporation o f labelled choline and ethanolamine into the phospholipids o f the cells grown in the modified medium is observed. We suggest, that the observed stimulation of the incorporation o f phospholipid precursors reflects changes in the dynamic state o f the membranes produced by serum depletion. | | | |
