We report the isolation of a heretofore unrecognized brain lipid that is present in cerebrospinal fluid of sleep-deprived cats. The molecule appears to be a long-chain base structurally related to sphingosine and sphinganine in which a second unsaturated bond has been introduced. An increase in the degree of unsaturation of a key membrane component is expected to have important physiological consequences.
我们报告了一种迄今未被识别的脑脂质的分离情况,该脂质存在于睡眠剥夺猫的脑脊液中。该分子似乎是一种与鞘氨醇和二氢鞘氨醇结构相关的长链碱,其中引入了第二个不饱和键。关键膜成分不饱和度的增加预计会产生重要的生理后果。
