Lipid Variations in Different Tissues (Liver and Muscle) of Fresh Water Cat Fish, Heteropneustes fossils (Bloch)
Abstract: Qualitative studies on characterization and identification of lipids by thin layer chromatography in different tissues of H. fossilis showed a considerable variation. The number of lipid spots was highest in brain compared to other tissues. The Rf values of spots indicate the regions of similarity between tissues. Comparison of Rf values with those of standards indicated that the presence of phospholipids, choline lipids, gyolopids, ninhydrine, amino group containing lipids were present. While liver possessed Iodine containing lipids.in addition these, whereas brain showed glycolipids, ninhydrine containing lipids, Iodine containing lipids and choline lipids too. The present study revealed that the Brain contain highest amount of different classes of lipids. The Liver tissue has shown less number of lipids. Glyco lipids and general class of lipids are present in all tissues with minor variations, choline lipids present in brain but not in remaining tissues, while Phospho lipids are present in intestine and brain only, whereas amino group containing lipids were more in all tissues when compared with other class of lipids.
