Abstract:
Morphocytochemical peculiarities of lipids from oocytes of some mammals and man were studied. The human oocytes, according to the structure and content of yolk, bear a close relation to a hare and a rabbit much differing from gametes of predatory animals (dog, cat), artiodactyla (sow), rodents (golden hamster). By thin layer chromatography on silicagel, a detailed lipid composition was established in the rabbit's oocytes, with neutral lipid and phospholipids (kefalin, lecitin, sfingomyelin) dominating. In addition, cholesterin was found.
