The de novo synthesis of choline and ethanolamine phosphoglycerides in brain microsomes from 18 mo. old male rats was investigated in vitro by using labeled cytidine-5''-diphosphate choline and cytidine-5''-diphosphate ethanolamine as lipid precursors. The rate of synthesis of the 2 phospholipid classes was noticeably decreased, as compared to that of adult animals. The addition of exogenous diacyl glycerols to microsomes from aging rat brain brings the rate of synthesis nearly to the adult levels. The synthesis of choline and ethanolamine phosphoglycerides is not affected in the liver microsomes of aging rats. The molar distribution of fatty acids in brain microsomal diacyl glycerols of aging rats is noticeably different from that of adult animals. The content of monoenoic and dienoic species is increased, whereas that of the tetraenoic species is decreased. Base exchange reaction for choline and ethanolamine incorporation into respective phospholipids is not affected in the brain microsomes of the aged rats.
