Gangliosides and neutral glycolipids in guinea pig adrenal glands. 1984

M Sekine, and T Ariga, and T Miyatake, and R Kase, and A Suzuki, and T Yamakawa

Glycolipids were isolated from the adrenal glands of seven strains of guinea pig by DEAE-Sephadex and Iatrobeads column chromatographies. The average lipid-bound sialic acid content of the adrenal glands was estimated to be 96.0 +/- 30.4 nmol/g fresh tissue. The ganglioside fraction contained two major gangliosides which accounted for 82% of the total lipid-bound sialic acid. They were identified as N-acetylneuraminylgalactosylceramide (GM4) and N-acetylneuraminyllactosylceramide (GM3). The neutral glycolipid fraction contained one major and three minor glycolipids. The major glycolipid was identified as galactosylceramide, which accounted for 81% of the total glycolipid. The other three glycolipids were identified as Forssman glycolipid (7%), lactosylceramide (5%), and gangliotriaosylceramide (7%). In all strains examined, the glycolipid patterns were similar.

D005732 Gangliosides A subclass of ACIDIC GLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS. They contain one or more sialic acid (N-ACETYLNEURAMINIC ACID) residues. Using the Svennerholm system of abbrevations, gangliosides are designated G for ganglioside, plus subscript M, D, or T for mono-, di-, or trisialo, respectively, the subscript letter being followed by a subscript arabic numeral to indicated sequence of migration in thin-layer chromatograms. (From Oxford Dictionary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1997) Ganglioside,Sialoglycosphingolipids
D006017 Glycolipids Any compound containing one or more monosaccharide residues bound by a glycosidic linkage to a hydrophobic moiety such as an acylglycerol (see GLYCERIDES), a sphingoid, a ceramide (CERAMIDES) (N-acylsphingoid) or a prenyl phosphate. (From IUPAC's webpage) Glycolipid
D006168 Guinea Pigs A common name used for the genus Cavia. The most common species is Cavia porcellus which is the domesticated guinea pig used for pets and biomedical research. Cavia,Cavia porcellus,Guinea Pig,Pig, Guinea,Pigs, Guinea
D000311 Adrenal Glands A pair of glands located at the cranial pole of each of the two KIDNEYS. Each adrenal gland is composed of two distinct endocrine tissues with separate embryonic origins, the ADRENAL CORTEX producing STEROIDS and the ADRENAL MEDULLA producing NEUROTRANSMITTERS.
