TABLE 1.
Sphingolipid content of rat brain tissue and brain mitochondria
Total ceramide, SPH, S1P, or SM content (pmol/mg of protein) was determined in the P1 rat brain or mitochondria purified from P10 rat brain. Each sample was normalized to its respective total protein. Values are mean ± S.E., n = 16.
Sphingolipid | Ceramide | SPH | S1P | SM |
---|---|---|---|---|
Brain (P1) | 915.4 ± 24.3 | 15.9 ± 0.6 | 1.3 ± 0.4 | 2,313.6 ± 98.2 |
Mitochondria (P10) | 979.3 ± 26.8 | 16.4 ± 0.8 | 2.1 ± 0.5 | 4,281.4 ± 121.7 |
