摘要
SYNOPSIS. Eleven of 14 hypocholesteremic drugs inhibited aerobic respiration of the phytoflagellate Ochromonas danica. Lecithin and unsaturated fatty acids annulled the inhibition of respiration by triparanol. Saturated fatty acids, squalene, cholesterol and a mixture of amino acids, purines, and water‐soluble vitamins were inactive. Unsaturated fatty acids only annul the triparanol inhibition if preincubated or added simultaneously with triparanol. Evidence is presented suggesting that triparanol and oleic acid form a complex or micelle; presumably in this form the triparanol no longer inhibits aerobic respiration.
