Non-extractable lipids in the adipose tissues of horses and ponies affected with generalized steatitis.

Abstract

When adipose tissues of horses and ponies affected with generalized steatitis were extracted by acetone, methanol and chloroform, non-extractable lipids were found to be present, which had become insoluble as a result of peroxidation and polymerization and had acquired autofluorescent characteristics. The origin of these lipids varies. Peroxidation occurs in three different lipid compartments, namely in the cytoplasm of the necrotized adipose cells, in the macrophagess and in the fat globules present in stroma.
