Regulation of oxygen consumption and microcirculation by alpha-sympathetic nerves in isolated perfused rat liver.

abstract：:The cholesterol content of rat liver plasma membranes was manipulated using either cholesterol-free or cholesterol-enriched liposomes. Removal of cholesterol from the membranes led to a marked increase in 5'-nucleotidase activity. However, increase in cholesterol content failed to exert any significant effect on 5'-nu...
