[The characteristics of the effect of thyroxine on sphingosine and phosphoinositide synthesis in the rat liver in ontogeny].

The age peculiarities of sphingosine, phosphatidylinoside, phosphatidylinoside 4-phosphate and phosphatidylinoside 4,5-bisphosphate in liver and thyroxine influences on this processes has been investigated. It has been determined that sphingosine, phosphatidylinoside and phosphatidylinoside 4-phosphate synthesis in liver drop in old age. It was found that thyroxine enhances the labelled precursor incorporation into sphingosine of 3- and 24-old rat, and phosphatidylinoside 4,5-bisphosphate--24-old animals and decreases the synthesis of phosphatidylinoside and phosphatidylinoside 4-phosphate in liver of the young rats.
