Özet

Fatty acids were estimated in plasma and red blood cell membrane in rats, rabbits, dogs and humans. The fatty acid pattern of plasma and red blood cell membrane was similar in all species and humans with little exceptions. C-18:2 was higher in plasma than red blood cell membrane whereas C-20:4 was higher in red blood cell membrane than plasma except rabbit. C-18:2 Was high in rabbit red blood cell membrane when compared to others. Dog was exceptionally very low in C-18:2 and high in C-20:4 in red blood cell membrane whereas rabbit was low in C-20:4 and high in C-18:2 22-Carbon fatty acids showed some variation. Among 22-carbon fatty acids C-22:6 was found highest in human red blood cell membrane, with quite high amounts in rat and rabbit but not in dog. Rats were closest to human in their fatty acid patterns.
