Abstract
The major components of the phospholipids of rhesus monkey [Macaca mulatta] spermatozoa are phosphatidyl choline (33%), phosphatidyl ethanolamine (25%), ethanolamine plasmalogen (16.1%), sphingomyelin (8.1%), choline plasmalogen (6.9%) and cardiolipin (4.5%). The major phospholipid-bound fatty acids are 16:0, 18:0, 18:1 and 22:6; the major fatty aldehydes are 15:0, 16:0 and 18:2. The same phospholipids are also present in the seminal plasma.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
