| Abstract: | The lipophilic components of choline phosphoglycerides and ethanolamine phosphoglycerides obtained from the salt gland of
herring gull and eider duck and from the rectal gland of spiny dogfish were investigated by means of thin-layer chromatography,
gas chromatography, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. All phospholipids analyzed were shown to contain small amounts
of plasmalogens, and mainly C16, C18, and C18∶1 aldehyde was detected. The fatty acids were composed of saturated, unsaturated,
straight chain, and branched chain types, ranging between 14–22 carbon atoms. The lipophilic composition of the rectal gland
phospholipids showed a higher degree of unsaturation and the presence of more branched chain fatty acids than that of the
birds, possibly related to body temperature. |
