Description:

This remarkable perinatal fluidization of the membrane resulted from a marked increase in the molar ratio of phospholipids to cholesterol.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kapitulnik, J -- Tshershedsky, M -- Barenholz, Y -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1979 Nov 16;206(4420):843-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/493984" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
