Abstract
1. 1. In rat parotid gland, chronic administration of isoproterenol caused significant increase of linoleic acid and decrease of arachidonic acid at the sn-2 position of phosphatidylcholine. 2. 2. The activities of 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate and 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine acyl-transferases were increased 3-8-fold and 2-fold, respectively, in the parotid gland microsomes of isoproterenol-treated rat. 3. 3. Furthermore, the specificity of these two enzymes for various acyl-CoAs was also changed by administration of isoproterenol. 4. 4. The alteration of unsaturated fatty acid composition at the sn-2 position of phosphatidylcholine was at least in part due to the change of activity and substrate specificity of lysophospholipid acyltransferases.
