The glycerolipid production by rat renal papillary slices varied inversely with the urea concentration (0-1660 mM) whether the production was measured as labelling of the glycerol backbone from glucose or as incorporation of labelled arachidonic acid and palmitic acid. The rate of phospholipid formation was most dependent on medium urea concentrations in the range between 0 and 1100 mM. The production of prostaglandins PGE2 and PGF2 alpha, measured radioimmunologically or by an isotope derivative method was in the same range inversely related to the production of glycerolipids and chain elongations. The effect of urea on prostaglandin formation is probably indirectly caused by the inhibition of the phospholipid formation and chain elongation, since the effect was abolished by 1% defatted albumin in the medium. The data suggest that the level of free arachidonic acid within the cells is controlled to an important extent by glycerolipid formation and chain elongation.
