Analyses of bovine retinosomes and liver lipid droplet-containing fractions

Analyses were carried out on fraction 1 and performed as described under “Quantification of Neutral Lipids and Phospholipids in Isolated Lipid Droplets.” Values represent normalized mean values of experiments done in triplicate.

	Lipid droplets from bovine RPE	Lipid droplets from rat liver stellate cellsa
	%	%
Retinyl esters	42.6	39.5
Retinol	13.1
Phospholipid	2.5	31.7
Free fatty acids	12.7
Cholesterol esters	10.4	20.1
Cholesterol	6.5
Triglycerides	12.2	8.7

^a Values are from a study performed by Moriwaki et al. (48) with stellate cells isolated from rat liver.
