Studies have been made on the specific content of plasmalogen and diacylated forms of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine in subcellular fractions (myelin, nuclei, microsomes, mitochondria, synaptosomes) from the brain of pigeons, as well as in the myelin fraction from the brain of the crow Corvus cornix and the hawk Accipiter gentelis. Fatty acid composition and fatty aldehyde composition of these two main phospholipids of the brain were studied in the subcellular fractions obtained. It was shown that plasmalogen forms of phospholipids are localized in birds mainly in the myelin fraction which exhibits the highest plasmalogen concentration as compared to the same fraction of all the vertebrates investigated. With respect to fatty acid and fatty aldehyde composition, as well as to the degree of their unsaturation, myelin plasmalogens from birds are similar to those from other cold-blooded and warm-blooded animals. This fact indicates that high relative content of plasmalogens together with their high unsaturation account for normal functional activity of myelin membranes in all vertebrates.
已对鸽子大脑亚细胞组分（髓磷脂、细胞核、微粒体、线粒体、突触体）中缩醛磷脂以及磷脂酰乙醇胺和磷脂酰胆碱的二酰化形式的具体含量进行了研究，同时也对寒鸦和苍鹰大脑的髓磷脂组分进行了研究。对所获得的亚细胞组分中大脑这两种主要磷脂的脂肪酸组成和脂肪醛组成进行了研究。结果表明，鸟类体内磷脂的缩醛磷脂形式主要定位于髓磷脂组分中，与所有被研究的脊椎动物的相同组分相比，该组分呈现出最高的缩醛磷脂浓度。在脂肪酸和脂肪醛组成以及不饱和程度方面，鸟类的髓磷脂缩醛磷脂与其他冷血和温血动物的相似。这一事实表明，缩醛磷脂的高相对含量及其高不饱和性是所有脊椎动物髓磷脂膜正常功能活动的原因。
