Scanning electron microscopic observation revealed that there were wide variations including typical acanthocytes in morphology of erythrocytes from a patient with abetalipoproteinemia. The erythrocyte membrane phospholipids and cholesterol contents from a patient was higher by 25% compared to an age-matched control subject. Analysis of phospholipid composition of red blood cells showed an increase of sphingomyelin (25.1----30.1%) with a concomitant decrease of lecithin (27.5----21.0%). Thus, the sphingomyelin/lecithin ratio was increased dramatically (0.91----1.43). As for fatty acyl chain composition of main phospholipids, an increased percentage of palmitic acid and docosahexaenoic acid and a decreased proportion of arachidonic acid and lignoceric acid were observed for sphingomyelin. There was an increment of palmitic acid which was accompanied with a decrease of linoleic acid in lecithin. On the other hand, no significant difference was shown in the fatty acid composition of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine plus phosphatidylinositol between a patient and control.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D008074 Lipoproteins Lipid-protein complexes involved in the transportation and metabolism of lipids in the body. They are spherical particles consisting of a hydrophobic core of TRIGLYCERIDES and CHOLESTEROL ESTERS surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic free CHOLESTEROL; PHOSPHOLIPIDS; and APOLIPOPROTEINS. Lipoproteins are classified by their varying buoyant density and sizes. Circulating Lipoproteins,Lipoprotein,Lipoproteins, Circulating
D008297 Male Males
D008563 Membrane Lipids Lipids, predominantly phospholipids, cholesterol and small amounts of glycolipids found in membranes including cellular and intracellular membranes. These lipids may be arranged in bilayers in the membranes with integral proteins between the layers and peripheral proteins attached to the outside. Membrane lipids are required for active transport, several enzymatic activities and membrane formation.

D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D010743 Phospholipids Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system.
