Fatty acid composition of human brain sphingomyelins: normal variation with age and changes during myelin disorders

Sphingomyelins have been isolated in almost quantitative yield from normal and pathological human nervous tissues, and their fatty acid compositions determined by gas–liquid chromatography. In normal frontal lobe the proportion of stearic acid (18:0) decreases with increasing age from about 80% in t...
