Lipid metabolism and biosynthesis

As reported earlier (Gulaya, N.M., Vaskovsky, V.E., Vystosky, M.V., Volkov, G.L., Govseeva, N.N. and Artemenko, I.P. (1988) Ukr. Biochim. J. 60, 58-63), N-acylphosphatidylethanolamines (NAPE) and products of their catabolism, N-acylethanolamines (NAE), are present in the lipids of neuroblastoma C1300 N18 undifferentiated cells. The present paper describes the distribution of NAE added to culture medium of differentiated cells and its effect on the fast sodium channels and some other membrane characteristics. It is shown that NAE inhibits the destroying action of veratridine on membranes.
