The pool size of CDP‐choline in the brain, heart, and lung of normal and hypoxic animals was measured by radioactive isotopic dilution. The effect of exogenous CDP‐choline administration on the pool size in these experimental groups was also examined. The hypoxic treatment caused a significant decrease of endogenous CDP‐choline in the brain and lung only; no significant effect was observed in the examined organs after CDP‐choline treatment.
