Abstract:
An homologous series of n-alkanes, which are the major aliphatic hydrocarbons, has been identified in normal mouse brain and in brain subfractions: myelin, mitochondria, microsomes, synaptosomes. The distribution patterns are qualitatively similar within all the studied fractions and show approximately equal amounts of odd and even chains. These alkanes, present in minor amounts in all the brain subfractions, accumulate in the myelin.
