Summary

The composition of phospholipids and phospholipid fatty acids in isolated rat serous fluid mast cells was analyzed by thin layer chromatography, gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. The phospholipids constituted about 50% of the mast cell lipids and phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin and lysophosphatidylcholine were identified. The phosphatidylethanolamine fraction contained aldehydes and the highest proportion of unsaturated fatty acids. Sphingomyelin contained predominantly saturated fatty acids whereas the ratio unsaturated fatty acids: saturated fatty acids for the other phospholipids was more close to 1.
