Abstract

Application of Baker's acid Haematein test for the histochemical detection of phospholipids to rat hypothalamus reveals striking colour differences between white and grey matter. It was found previously that these differences could not be attributed to corresponding differences in the acid Haematein-positive lipid content in various regions of the hypothalamus. As the staining reaction might depend on the degree of unsaturation of lipids, the fatty acid compositions of phosphatidyl choline and the polar lipid fraction from the optic chiasma and some regions of rat hypothalamus were investigated.
