Abstract:
Alterations in lipid composition were studied by means of micro-thin-layer chromatography technique in rat myocardium during postmortal autolysis. Lipids of rat heart were stable enough at early periods of the autolysis. At the same time, the most labile fraction included phospholipids, polyglycerophosphatides and lecithins. The more stable fraction contained free cholesterol and neutral lipids. The main pathways of lipid degradation within the first 24 hrs of autolysis operated via hydrolysis of phospholipids, neutral lipids as well as via reactions of transacetylation and biotransformation (methylation etc).
