Description
Summary:	The level of the neutral and acid phospholipids and thromboplastic activity of various portions of the rabbit brain were studied under normal conditions and following adrenaline stimulation. The level of total phospholipids, neutral phospholipids, and the ratio of neutral to acid phospholipids, thromboplastic activity and its increase following incubation of homogenates of the brain tissue of normal and adrenaline-treated animals were found to be distributed in the following descending order: the medulla oblongata, cerebellum, cerebral hemispheres. Adrenaline decreased the thromboplastic activity and induced changes in the neutral and acid phospholipid levels. The role of phospholipids in the biosynthesis of various components of the blood clotting and anticoagulant systems are discussed.
