[Presence of monogalactosyl diglyceride in the rat nerve sciatic]

We present a pattern of fractionation of total lipids, leading to the isolation of individual glycolipids, MGDG contains as sugars, a high quantity of galactose and a low level of glucose. The study of the fatty acids distribution shows: a) a high level of saturated short chains fatty acids, b) a high level of palmitic acid (C 16:0, 68% of the total).
