  • Title: Androgenic control of acetate incorporation into membrane lipids in rat ventral prostate.
    Author: Recio MN, del Hoyo N, Pérez-Albarsanz MA.
    Journal: Biochem Int; 1988 Jan; 16(1):1-13. PubMed ID: 3355567.
    Abstract:
    The rat ventral prostate plasma membranes incorporated acetate into total lipids, which was a time-dependent process. The acetate incorporation was mainly into phospholipids followed by cholesterol. The main phospholipids subclasses were choline and ethanolamine glycerophospholipids. Castration modified drastically both cholesterol-phospholipids and choline glycerophospholipids-ethanolamine glycerophospholipids ratios. These effects of castration were reversed after testosterone treatment, which could suggest an influence of this hormone in the modification of some lipid classes into cellular membrane.
