`
`y analogy with the retina, it is probable that 22:61‘:-3
`is a major PU “A of the lipids in the photoreceptor calla
`of the fish pineal organ. To examine this hypothesis, we
`determined ir the present study the detailed lipid
`our position of the trout pineal with particular attention
`to the FUFA content and molecular species of phosphd
`lipida. As far as we are aware, the detailed lipid compo-
`aidun of the pineal organ from fish has not been re-
`ported previously and only a limited amount of informa-
`tion is available on the lipids of the organ from
`r arnmala (20,21). Information gained from the analysis
`of the trout pineal organ is of basic impnr once as mam-
`malian pinealocytes are accepted as being phylog'erseti-
`cally derived from the flab pineal photoreceptor cells (2).

`
`Fish and pineal organs. Rainbow Lmut (Onoorhyncliua
`myliiaa) of average weight 500 g were obtained from a
`com nercial fish farm (Piaciculture Ballet, Angouleme.
`France} where they had been maintained under natural
`conditions of water temperature and photoperiod. One
`hundred fish were killed by decapitation. Pineal organs
`were removed immediately from the fish, {moon in liquid
`nitrogen and stored at -8013 until taken for analynia.
`Chemicals and solvents. Phospholipaae C from Endl-
`lus cercus was purchased from ‘Hoehringer Corporation
`fLordon) Ltd. (Lewes, East Sussex, England). Oxalyl
`chlo do and anthracene 9—carboxylic acid were supplied
`by Aldrich Chemical Co. {Gilli ig am, Dorset, England).
`All other chemicals and biochemicalo were purchased

`To confirm which polar li id classes were present,
`aliquots of total lipid were also subjected to two-dimcn
`aioual I-lP'l'L«C. The polar lipid developing solvent aya-
`tern described previously was used for development in

`For the analysis of fatty acid composition, individual
`lipid classes were separated by two-dimensional TLC on
`20 x 20 can glass plates coated with silica gel G 60 (0.25

`aeparabad classes were visualized by spraying the chro-
`matogram with 0.1% 2','l'—dicl1lorofluoreacein in metha-
`nol containing 0.01% butylated hydroxytoluere and by
`viewing in der ultraviolet light. Tr-lacylglycorolo (TAGa)
`were ‘pill ‘find by redeveloping the chromatograro in the
`reverse direction of the second development using
`hexonefdiothyl etherlglacial acetic acid (8(J:2D:2, by vol)
`after removal of the individual polar lipid claaaea. The
`fatty acids of the separated lipid classes were converted
`to their methyl -;-rater-a on the adsorbent by acid-cat-
`alyzed trarsaaterification (223. An aliquot of total lipid
`was also aubjecbad to the aame procedure. The re culling
`fatty acid methyl esters: were purified by HPTLC and re-
`covered from the adsorbent with haxaneldiethyl other

`Fatty acid methyl esters were analyzed on a Packard
`439 gas chromatograph equipped with a fused ailica cap-
`illary column (50 In >6 0-22 mm i.d.} coated with FFAP
`phaae (S.G.E.. Milton Keynes, United Kingdom]. Saar
`ple applicatio was by un—column injection, and hydro-
`gen was used as the

`analysis, the oven temperature waa programmed to in-
`crease from 50 to 225'C. Samples were also analyzed
`using an Omogawax 260 fused silica column (30 Ill x

`ence to a wall-characterized fish oil fatty acid mixture,
`and the unsaturated nature of components was con-
`firmed by re-—aralyaia of samples after catalytic hydro-
`genation over H02. The separated components were
`quantitatad using a recording integrator linked to
