Abstract

Neutral  lipids  (NL)  and  phospholipids  (PL)  with  their  constituents  were  studied in  brain  of  Cirrhina  mrigala  and  Labeo  rohita,  by  employing  TLC  and  Bioassay  technique  . The total  lipid  in  the  brain  of  Labeo  rohita  is  24.14  mg  lipids  /  gm  ,  increase  to  127.9  mg  lipids  /  gm  in  the  brain  of  Cirrhina  mrigala  .  The  ratio  of  cholesterol  and  phosphotidylcholine  in  the  same  species  is  5:1  and  4:1  respectively

Neutral  lipids  consists  of  six  components  ,  triacylglycerol  being  main  component  .  Cholesterol  (CHO)  ,  Diacylglycerol  (DG)  ,  Cholesterol-ester  (CE)  ,  and  Monoacylglycerol  (MG)  were  moderate  in concentration  .  Free  fatty  acids  (FFA)  was low  in  quantity  .  Phospholipids  exhibits  seven  constituents  ,  Phosphatidylcholine  (PCL)  and phophatidyl  -  ethanolamine  (PE)  were  major  constituents  ,  sphingomyelin  (SPG)  , phosphatidyl  -  inositol  (PI)  and  phosphatidyl- serine  (PS)  were  moderate  in  concentration  .  Lysophosphatidylcholine ( LPC)  were  low  in  quantity
