Abstract
A stepwise-development TLC technique is described for separating phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol in samples of amniotic fluid. Plates are prepared from silica gel G slurried in a 50 g/l ammonium sulfate solution. Phospholipid phosphorus determination is not needed. Phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol, measured densitometrically, are expressed as ratios to the sphingomyelin present. These ratios are correlated with the lecithin/sphingomyelin ratio and age of gestation in normal and abnormal [human] pregnancies.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
