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).
