Analysis of myelin lipids of brain and sciatic nerve of wt, hetero-, and homozygous cgt^−/− mice (24-day-old). Brain, total and alkali-stable lipids; sciatic nerve, alkali-stable lipids; C, cholesterol; CN, normal fatty acid substituted GalC; CH, α-hydroxy fatty acid substituted GalC; PE, phosphatidylethanolamine; SN, normal fatty acid substituted sGalC; SH, α-hydroxy fatty acid substituted sGalC; LPE, lysophosphatidylethanolamine (lysoplasmalogens); PC, phosphatidylcholine; GM3, ganglioside GM3. Arrows: 1, glucocerebroside; 2, sulfated glucocerebroside; and 3, sphingomyelin-containing long chain α-hydroxy fatty acids.
