  • Title: [Brain cholesterol in representatives of different vertebrate classes].
    Author: Chebotareva MA, Ditiatev AE.
    Journal: Zh Evol Biokhim Fiziol; 1988; 24(3):426-31. PubMed ID: 3176772.
    Abstract:
    Studies have been made on the cholesterol content of the brain in 73 species of vertebrates. Cholesterol content increases in both aquatic and terrestrial animals in evolutionary row. Significant variations in cholesterol content were noted within the same class. Comparative studies revealed correlation between changes in phospholipids and cholesterol on one hand and various glycolipids on the other. It is suggested that cholesterol content of the brain in vertebrates depends on ecological factors rather than on taxonomic position of animals.
