Lipid composition of rat sciatic nerve

  • Published:
Lipids

Abstract

In the course of our study on the lipids of the rat sciatic nerve, the analysis of the neutral lipids allowed us to detect and characterize cholesteryl esters present at a relatively high level (5%). Among the phospholipids, ethanolamine phosphoglyceride is the most abundant fraction and contains nearly all the plasmalogens (20% of total lipid phosphorus). The glycolipids consist of five different fractions; the cerebrosides with hydroxy fatty acids account for 38% of total glycolipids. Monogalactosyl diglyceride represents 7% of total glycolipids.
