Abstract

The postnatal changes in distribution and synthesis of lipids of mice liver, kidneys and brain have been studied. The hepatic lipids show greater variation in females than in males during postnatal development. Lipid levels of kidneys and brain increase with advancing age unlike in the case of liver. The major component of brain and kidney lipids is phospholipid. The incorporation of <sup>14</sup>C-acetate into lipids of the tissues is highest within 5 days and lowest 10 days after parturition. Sex-dependent changes are discernible in the lipid synthesis.
