Abstract

Triglycerides from embryonic chick livers at various developmental stages (13th, 17th and 21st day) were resolved into twelve groups of molecular species differing in their unsaturation degree and fatty acid composition. The relative abundance of each fraction was determined. SM 2 fractions underwent a nearly three-fold increase between 13th and 21st day of embryonic development, whereas S 2H+SMH species decreased from 32.7% to 11.2% during the same period. Nevertheless, on a wet tissue basis only the SM 2 group showed a marked increase throughout that interval. Fatty acid composition of fractions remained practically constant from one stage to another, the only exception being the group SM 2 for which some significant changes were noticed.
