[Fatty acid composition of phospholipids from rabbit and crayfish skeletal muscle sarcolemma and sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes].
A comparative analysis of fatty acid composition of lipid components from skeletal muscle sarcolemma and sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes of rabbits and crayfishes Astacus fluviatilis and A. leptodactylus has been made by means of gas-liquid chromatography of methyl esters of fatty acids. There are slight differences between external and internal membranes in fatty acids composition of lipids in the same animal. Considerable differences were found, however, when lipids in corresponding membranes of different species were compared. There are more unsaturated fatty acids in the crayfish than in the rabbit membranes. The most expressive differences in fatty acid composition between the two animals concern the content of linoleic acid type. Polyunsaturated acids in the crayfish are mostly of a 3 type and those in the rabbit of a 6 type. During biochemical evolution the following changes seem to take place, a decrease in the amount of unsaturated fatty acids as well as of polyunsaturated ones of a 3 type and an increase of those of the 6 type. These changes very probably reflect the transition from an aquatic to a terrestrial habitat.
