Abstract
Summary
Liver mitochondria and spleen were found to contain dehydrogenases which attacked lecithin and sphingomyelin and required ATP. Muscle and intestinal mucosa had dehydrogenase activity with lecithin or sphingomyelin if DPN was present whereas under the same conditions homogenates of spleen were active only with sphingomyelin. The dehydrogenase systems were obtained in soluble form from acetone powders of liver mitochondria or intestinal mucosa.
