Abstract
Glycolipid composition of Rat intestine was established at 17 days and 19 days of gestation, at birth and at days 13, 21 and 30 after birth. Glycosphingolipid content was maximal at birth. Glucosylceramide was a major glycolipid at all ages and its fatty acids did not become highly hydroxylated until the 13th day after birth. At this age, the trihexosylceramide contribution to the total glycolipid content increased. During all the perinatal period, hematoside was a major glycolipid. These results showed that in the perinatal differentiation of intestine the evolution of the glycolipid composition did not resemble the evolution observed in the differentiation of epithelial cells of adult Rat intestine.
