Abstract
Lipids were extracted from brains of a patient with membranous lipodystrophy (ML) and three normal patients and the neutral lipid and sphingolipid constituents were investigated. The storage of a large amount of free fatty acid was observed in the ML brain, but no cholesterol ester was found. Total lipid, cholesterol and cerebroside contents were slightly decreased in the white matter of the ML brain. The compositions of free and sphingolipid fatty acids did not differ between ML and normal brains. Im Gehirn einer sogenannten „Membranolipodystrophie“ (ML) und in drei normalen Gehirnen wurden Neutrallipide und Sphingolipide vergleichend analysiert. Eine große Menge Frei-Fettsäure wurde beobachtet, aber Cholesterolester fand sich weder in der grauen noch in der weißen Substanz des ML-Gehirns. In der weißen Substanz des ML-Gehirns wurde eine geringe Abnahme des Cholesterins, der Cerebroside und auch Totallipide im Vergleich mit den normalen Gehirnen beobachtet. Es gab nicht eine bedeutsame Differenz zwischen ML und den normalen in der Komposition der Frei-und Sphingolipide-Fettsäure.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
