Popis: Increasing age in the male rat results in changes in the plasma membranes of the parenchymal cells of liver. The extrinsic protein, soluble in 0.15 M NaCl, increases, and the specific activities of the membrane-localized enzymes are decreased: that for 5′-nucleotidase not until at least 88 weeks of age, when it decreases to about one-half; and that for ATPase after 19 weeks of age, with a decrease of over one-half. The remainder of the membrane protein, the intrinsic, or protein quite insoluble in more physiologic aqueous media, is composed of at least three lipoproteins “solubilized” by mild sonication and separated by density gradients. The least dense, A, (d
