Popis: The polyene fatty acid compostition of cardiac phospholipids is modified by a) dietary cod liver oil, b) norepinephrine, c) chronic administration of nicotine to animals fed a high cholesterol diet. Polyene fatty acids stimulate microsomal oxydation of epinephrine to cardiotoxic adrenochrome. Adrenochrome stimulates microsomal peroxydation or oxygenation of polyene fatty acids. There is an exponential relationship between docosahexaenoic acid of cardiac phospholipids and the heart rate.
