Evidence for the existence of cholesteryl alk-1-enyl ethers in bovine and porcine cardiac muscle.

Evidence is presented for the existence of cholesteryl alk-1-enyl ethers in bovine and porcine cardiac muscle. Several different fatty chains are present in the cholesteryl ethers, the major species having 16 and 18 carbon atoms. The cholesteryl alk-1-enyl ether concentration was found to be 0.08 and 0.01 micro moles/100 mg of neutral lipid in bovine and porcine cardiac muscle, respectively.

Isolation and analysis of free fatty aldehydes from rat, dog, and bovine heart muscle.

Procedures are described for the isolation of free fatty aldehydes from total lipid extracts of rat, dog, and bovine heart muscle. These aldehydes did not arise from hydrolysis of the naturally occurring alkenyl ethers in either the extraction or isolation procedures. The free fatty aldehydes were present in heart muscle in amounts between 0.27 and 0.56 micromole per 100 mg of lipid. Hexadecanal and octadecanal are the principal free fatty aldehydes present, except in dog heart muscle where an unidentified, unusual aldehyde constitutes 20% of the mixture.

Percutaneous absorption of 7, 10 14C-benzo[a]pyrene and 7, 12 14C-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene in mice.

The percutaneous penetration, tissue distribution and excretion of 14C-labeled benzo[a]pyrene (BP) and dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) were studied in mice. Both BP and DMBA rapidly penetrated the skin and were excreted more in the feces than in the urine. The proportion of BP and DMBA absorbed was less with increasing applied dose due to apparent saturation of the uptake process. Uptake from the dorsal skin of the nose was similar to uptake from the dorsal nuchal skin.
