Abstract
Summary
Gas chromatographic analysis of normal fatty acids according to chain length from C10 through C24 and even-numbered α hydroxy acids from C18 through C24 was reported for samples from human and chicken brain. Separation of 25 resolved peaks representing saturated and unsaturated normal fatty acids was achieved by chromatography of esters on a 10 foot diethylene glycol polyester succinate column. Over half of these peaks were identified, tentative identifications were given for remainder and their relative amounts in human and chicken brain fatty acids were reported.
