LIPIDS OF ISOLATED NEURONS

B I ROOTS et al. Biochem J. 1965 Jan.

Abstract

1. Lipids were extracted from neurons isolated from the lateral vestibular nucleus of ox (Bos taurus L.) and the ganglia of Aplysia punctata Cuvier. 2. Thin-layer chromatography of ox-neuron lipid revealed three major fractions corresponding to neutral lipid, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine. Part of the phosphatidylethanolamine was present as the plasmalogen. 3. Aplysia-neuron lipid contained neutral lipid, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine. Both phospholipids appeared to be present predominantly as the plasmalogen form. 4. The fatty acids of alkali-labile lipids of ox neurons were examined by gas-liquid chromatography. The major fatty acids were oleic acid, stearic acid and palmitic acid.
