    • Abstract:  The synthesis of ceramide from lignoceric acid was studied in normally developing rat brain and jimpy mouse brain. The developmental pattern of the synthesis of both non-hydroxy and hydroxyceramide from free lignoceric acid in a brain-specific pathway requiring NADPH and cytosolic factors was similar to the synthesis from lignoceroyl CoA and both showed increasing activity during myelination. There were no differences in non-hydroxyceramide synthesis between jimpy and normal littermate control mouse brains by both pathways. HPLC analysis showed the same non-hydroxyceramide level in both types of brains.
