Molecular species composition of phosphatidylinositol from the brain, retina, liver and muscle of cod ( Gadus morhua)

Abstract The molecular species composition of phosphatidylinositol (PI) purified from four different tissues from cod was found to show large tissue‐specific differences. In brain 18∶0/20∶5 was the most abundant species (40.8%) followed by 18∶1/20∶5 (13.5%). In retina, 24–26% each of PI was the 16∶0...

Description
Summary:Abstract The molecular species composition of phosphatidylinositol (PI) purified from four different tissues from cod was found to show large tissue‐specific differences. In brain 18∶0/20∶5 was the most abundant species (40.8%) followed by 18∶1/20∶5 (13.5%). In retina, 24–26% each of PI was the 16∶0/22∶6 and 18∶0/20∶4 species with 16–18% each of 18∶0/20∶5 and 18∶0/22∶6. In liver, almost half of the PI was 18∶0/20∶4 with 18% 18∶1/20∶4. In contrast, muscle contained almost 40% of 18∶0/22∶6 with 10–14% each of 18∶0/20∶4, 18∶0/20∶5 and 18∶1/22∶6.
