The purpose of our study was to examine the ischemia induced enzymatic changes of decaylation-reacylation cycle of membrane phospholipids in dog brain. In this study, we developed new modified method for assay of phospholipase A1, A2 and lysophospholipase which is simpler and needs only a smaller amount of materials. For the first report, we introduced this new method and demonstrated some properties of phospholipase A1, A2 and lysophospholipase in dog brain. Crude enzyme solution for assays of phospholipase A1, A2 and lysophospholipase was gained from extraction of frozen brain with aceton, butanol and saline. The level of phosphorus in the enzyme extract was determined and only those extracts which had a level of phosphorus within a certain range were used. The substrates for assays were L-alpha-[beta-palmitoyl-1-14C] phosphatidylcholine, dipalmitoyl for phospholipase A1 and A2 and L-lysophosphatidylcholine-1-[1-14C] palmitoyl for lysophospolipase respectively. Each radioactive substrates was diluted with cold carrier lipid to give the proper specific activity. Reaction system including substrate, buffer [pH 7.0] and enzyme extract was incubated for 10 hours at 38 degrees C. But for the assay of phospholipase A1 and A2, enzyme solution was pre-incubated at 70 degrees C for 5 minutes. In our new method, reaction mixture was directly separated by TLC without extracting lipids. Enzyme activities were calculated from radio thin-layer chromatograms. Furthermore, we made a comparison between our method and the former one. The value of each enzyme activity was slightly higher in our method than in the former one. However, it was revealed that the results were reproducible in both methods.
