[Correlation and composition of the plasmalogen and diacyl forms of phosphatidylethanolamine in subcellular brain fractions of the trout Salmo irideus and the frog Rana temporaria]. 1986

E E Kruglova

In myelin, nuclear, microsomal, mitochondrial and synaptosomal fractions from the brain of the trout and frog, studies have been made on the composition of fatty acids and fatty aldehydes of the plasmalogen form and fatty acids of the diacylic form of phosphatidylethanolamin. It was shown that alongside with the increase of the relative content of the plasmalogen form of phosphatidylethanolamin in subcellular fractions of the brain in the frog, especially in the myelin, changes also take place in the composition of fatty acids (the increase in the content of polyenic acids, especially of arachidonic one) and fatty aldehydes (the increase in the degree of unsaturation). Brain myelin of coldblooded vertebrates exhibits similarity with myelin from higher vertebrates in its high content of plasmalogens with a high degree of unsaturation of fatty acids and fatty aldehydes.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010714	Phosphatidylethanolamines	Derivatives of phosphatidic acids in which the phosphoric acid is bound in ester linkage to an ethanolamine moiety. Complete hydrolysis yields 1 mole of glycerol, phosphoric acid and ethanolamine and 2 moles of fatty acids.

D010955	Plasmalogens	GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS in which one of the two acyl chains is attached to glycerol with an ether alkenyl linkage instead of an ester as with the other glycerophospholipids.

D001923	Brain Chemistry	Changes in the amounts of various chemicals (neurotransmitters, receptors, enzymes, and other metabolites) specific to the area of the central nervous system contained within the head. These are monitored over time, during sensory stimulation, or under different disease states.	Chemistry, Brain,Brain Chemistries,Chemistries, Brain
D002849	Chromatography, Gas	Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.

D005227	Fatty Acids	Organic, monobasic acids derived from hydrocarbons by the equivalent of oxidation of a methyl group to an alcohol, aldehyde, and then acid. Fatty acids are saturated and unsaturated (FATTY ACIDS, UNSATURATED).

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012487	Salmonidae	A family of anadromous fish comprising SALMON; TROUT; whitefish; and graylings. They are the most important food and game fishes. Their habitat is the northern Atlantic and Pacific, both marine and inland, and the Great Lakes. (Nelson: Fishes of the World, 1976, p97)	Graylings,Thymallus,Whitefish,Salmonids,Grayling,Salmonid
D013347	Subcellular Fractions	Components of a cell produced by various separation techniques which, though they disrupt the delicate anatomy of a cell, preserve the structure and physiology of its functioning constituents for biochemical and ultrastructural analysis.
