Abstract
IT has been demonstrated1,2 that oxygen deprivation brought about by a decrease in atmospheric pressure results in a depression of the rate of turnover of phospholipids in rat brain tissue. The upset of metabolism occurred earlier and was more marked in phospholipid than other phosphorus containing compounds (nucleic acids and phosphoproteins). Phospholipid metabolism decreased in hypoxia by 30–50 per cent; the extent of this decrease was correlated with the degree of hypoxia.
