Über die Verteilung der Lipide in der Cornea des Rindes

Abstract
The level of total lipids, cholesterol, cholesterol esters, phosphatides and plasmalogens was determined in bovine corena, in central and peripheral corneal sections, and in the 3 layers (epithelium, stroma, endothelium). Lecithin, sphingomyelin, serin cephalin and colamine cephalin were found in every layer. The epithelium also contained small amounts of a hitherto unknown phos-phatide. The fatty acid composition of the neutral lipids and of the phosphatides was determined.
