Lipid and phospholipid content and fatty acid composition of the chick lung during embryonic development.
The evolution of total phospholipid, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine content of chick lung during embryonic development is in good agreement with morphological data. Saturated fatty acids are predominant. A sex-linked difference is observed in the evolution of phosphatidylcholine.
