Galactosylsphingosine (psychosine) concentration in brain and liver of wild type and twitcher mice determined by mass spectrometry.

Wild type Twitcher
(pmole/100 mg wet weight tissue)
Brain 5.7 ± 2.9 514.1 ± 85.9*
Liver 1.3 ± 0.4 59.3 ± 7.4*

Samples represent Mean ± SD of the analysis of 3 wild type and 5 twitcher mice (two wild type animals were at postnatal day 33 and one at postnatal day 43; twitcher animals were at postnatal day 32-33).
