Digitoxin was shown to increase the specific activity of heart ventricle phosphatides in rats receiving simultaneously radioactive orthophosphate and digitoxin as compared to control rats not receiving digitoxin. The increase in specific activity was demonstrated in both lecithin and phosphatidyl ethanolamine. The other heart muscle lipids were not investigated. Glycerol and ethanol, which are constituents of the vehicle in which the digitoxin is dissolved, do not alter the specific activity of the heart muscle phosphatides. The vehicle itself (without digitoxin) has some activity.
