title: Phospholipids and phospholipid-bound fatty acids and aldehydes of spermatozoa and seminal plasma of rhesus monkeys.
abstract: The major components of the phospholipids of rhesus monkey spermatozoa are phosphatidyl choline (33%), phosphatidyl ethanolamine (25%), ethanolamine plasmalogen (16-1%), sphingomyelin (8-1%), choline plasmalogen (6-9%) and cardiolipin (4-5%). The major phospholipid-bound fatty acids are 16:0, 18:0, 18:1 and 22:6; the major fatty aldehydes are 15:0, 16:0 and 18:2. The same phospholipids are also present in the seminal plasma.
