Lipid composition of the rat kidney. 1976

M M Müller, and E Kaiser, and P Bauer, and V Scheiber, and M Hohenegger

The lipid fractions free fatty acids, triglycerides, cholesterol, cholesterol esters and phospholipids of rat kidney cortex, outer and inner medulla were analyzed by thin-layer chromatography. The concentrations of 23 individual fatty acids in the lipid fractions of each zone were determined by gas chromatography; 14 of them were evaluated by an analysis of variance. For most of the lipid fractions a corticomedullary concentration gradient was found, the highest concentrations occurring in the cortex. The lipid classes primarily determined the pattern of individual fatty acid concentrations. A significant concentration difference between the three zones only existed for 4 of 14 fatty acids. Long chain fatty acids were found in a higher concentration in the phospholipids of cortex and outer medulla (about 95%) in comparison to the inner medulla (65%).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries

D007672 Kidney Cortex The outer zone of the KIDNEY, beneath the capsule, consisting of KIDNEY GLOMERULUS; KIDNEY TUBULES, DISTAL; and KIDNEY TUBULES, PROXIMAL. Cortex, Kidney
D007679 Kidney Medulla The internal portion of the kidney, consisting of striated conical masses, the renal pyramids, whose bases are adjacent to the cortex and whose apices form prominent papillae projecting into the lumen of the minor calyces. Kidney Papilla,Kidney Medullas,Kidney Papillas,Medulla, Kidney,Medullas, Kidney,Papilla, Kidney,Papillas, Kidney
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Lipid
D008297 Male Males
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. Phosphatides,Phospholipid
D002784 Cholesterol The principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils. Epicholesterol
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.

D014280 Triglycerides An ester formed from GLYCEROL and three fatty acid groups. Triacylglycerol,Triacylglycerols,Triglyceride
