Abstract
Summary
Fatty acid concentration and composition of various lipids were studied in the CSF and in the plasma of control dogs. The average concentration of FFA, TGFA, PLFA, and CEFA in the CSF were 5.5%, 1.3%, 0.5%, and 0.6% of the respective fatty acid fractions of the plasma. The concentration of FFA in the CSF was higher than that of other lipids. CSF lipids contained a higher percentage of saturated fatty acids than did plasma lipids, mostly due to a higher fraction of palmitic and a lower fraction of oleic and linoleic acids.
