To study the relation between serum fatty acids and coronary artery disease(CAD), 194 subjects were randomly selected and divided into three groups(control, single vessel disease group(SVD), muliple vessel disease group(MVD)) according to the angiographic results. Total serum levels of fatty acids and serum phospholipid(PL)-fatty acids(FAs)were analysed using gas chromatography and their associations with CAD were examined. Different patterns of total serum fatty acid levels were found in men and women. Levels of most fatty acids of SVD and MVD were significantly lower in men, while those of MVD were significantly higher in women. In terms of PL-FAs in both men and women, the levels of PL-FAs follow the order of control < SVD < MVD and in women, the difference was significant. Various ratio(including ratios denoting the activites of desaturase and elongase) of total serum-and PL-FAs were similar in the three groups. In the relation of serum fatty acids to serum lipid profiles, PUFA & LDL showed a negative correlation, while, SFA & LDL-cholesterol and PUFA and HDL-cholesterol showed positive correlatons. correlations. Systolic blood pressure and alcohol intake levels negatively affected the levels of serum LA, AA, EPA and DHA in the risk factor analysis. These findings are consistent with other evidence indicating that fatty acid compositions are changed in CAD, especially on the concentration base and the change was related to the severity of the disease. Therefore, for the purpose of disease prevention and therapeutic use, balanced intakes of various fatty acids must be seriously considered.

The molar ratio of sterol to phospholipid differed from yeast strains, and the ratio was relatively higher in non-freeze-tolerant yeast strain, S. cerevisiae than freeze-tolerant yeast strains, D$\sub$2-4/ or CFY. Phospholipid composition of these yeast were also investigated. Phosphatidylcholine content was larger among phospholipids in all yeasts. Higher ratio of PC/PE was found in freeze-tolerant yeast than non-freeze-tolerant yeast. Higher proportion of linolein acid(18 : 2) against total fatty acid attached to phospholipid was observed in D$\sub$2-4/ than S. cerevisiae or CFY, and the degree of unsaturation of fatty acid was higher in D$\sub$2-4/ and CFY than in S. cerevisiae. These results suggested that the fluidity of yeast cell membrane was different in yeast strains, which might result in the difference in freeze-injury of yeast at low temperatures.

This experiment is carried out to study effect of choline-deficient diet on serum and liver lipid contents of male rats. The experimental animals use 36 male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing about $100{\pm}3g$. They are classified into 7 groups and fed to experimental diets which are composed of 0.8% choline-supplement of deficient diets in addition to 14% corn oil, 14% corn margarine and 14% lipids mixed with 4% corn oil and 10% corn margarine, respectively. After feeding for 4 weeks, I measure lipid concentration of serum and liver, and the result are as follows. 1. The choline-deficient diet group decreases slightly the rates of weight gain and feed efficiency as compared with those of the choline-supplement diet group, but increases liver weight. 2. The choline-dificient diet group decreases the serum concentrations of total cholesterol (TC), free cholesterol, HDL-choelsterol, VLDL, LDL-cholesterol and phospholipid (PL), but increases the contents of triglyceride and the ratios of cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol and triglyceride/PL, and indicates no remarkable-difference in the ratio of TC/PL. 3. As compared with the choline-supplement diet group, the choline-deficient diet group contains the higher liver contents of total lipids, free cholesterol and triglyceride, and gives little difference in the liver contents of total cholesterol and phospholipid(PL), and presents the higher ratios of VLDL, LDL-cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol and TG/PL in the liver.4. In the choline-deficient diet group, the coutents of serum and liver lipid is not influenced by the kind of dietary fat. On the other hand, the choline-supplemented diet group indicates a significantly lower content of phospholipid in the corn margarine-added diet group than in the corn oil-added diet group. As aforementioned results, I think that the choline-deficient diet induces fatty liver in male rats without relation to kind of fatty acid, and cholines-upplement diet with saturated fatty acid makes the more decrease of liver phospholipid than that with polyunsaturated fatty acid.

To evaluate the quality of lipids and their fatty acid compositions in diploid and triploid carps(Cyprinus carpio), we analyzed the compositions of neutral lipid, phospholipid and glycolipid, and fatty acid contents of each lipids in these carp muscles. Total lipid contents of diploid carps, nonspawning season and spawning season, and triploid carp were $2.5\~3.0\%,\;1.4\~1.9\%\;and\;2.4\~3.1\%$, respectively. Regardless of belly and dorsal muscles, diploid carp of nonspawning season and triploid one were higher in neutral lipid, but lower in glycolipid and phospholipid than those of diploid one of spawning season. The neutral lipid and phospholipid were mainly consisted of triglyceride($66.9\~86.1\%$), and phosphatidyl-choline($55.6\~62.9\%$), respectively. In fatty acid compositions of total lipid, triploid carp showed higher content in monoenes such as 16: 1, 18: 1, but lower in polyenes such as 22:6 than those of diploid carp. The major fatty acids in total lipid were 18:1, 16:9, 18:2, 18:3 and 16:1 in order. The fatty acid compositions of neutral lipids showed similar trend to those of total lipid, and the major fatty acids in phospholipid were 16:0, 18:1, 18:2 and 22:6, These fatty acid compositions of neutral lipid, glycolipid and phospholipid were slightly difference between dorsal and belly muscles in all the carps.

The composition of glycolipid, phospholipid and fatty acid of brown rice, milled rice and bran were studied for four varieties of rice such as Nampung, Milyang # 23, Whasung and Jinhung. The content of esterified steryl glycosides(ESG) in glycolipids was the highest in the brown rice, milled rice and bran. Monogalactosyl diglycerides(MGDG) and steryl glycosides(SG) were the second highest. Of the phospholipids, phosphatidyl cholines(PC) + phosphatidyl serines(PS) were the next. Fatty acid composition of glycolipids were different from total lipids and neutral lipids in brown rice and milled rice. Palmitic acid content was very high and oleic acid content was low in glycolipids. The major fatty acid components of phospholipids in brown and milled rice were also palmitic, linoleic and oleic acid. In the bran, the major fatty acid classes were different from those of milled rice.

To investigate changes in fatty acid and lipid composition of maturing perilla (Perilla frutescens var. japonica Hara) seeds, Suweon 10 and Jeju varieties were subjected to lipid analysis. The results were summarized as follows; As perilla seeds matured, content of glycolipid and phospholipid decreased. Glycolipid and phospholipid of mature seed were 25.4% and 4.5% of total lipids in Suweon 10 and those from Jeju were 44.5%, 4.0%, respectively. Cerebroside, galatosyl diglyceride and monogalatosyl diglyceride were major constitutents of ether-extractable glycolipids in developing perilla seeds. Monogalatosyl diglyceride, the richest constitutent in the early stage of seed development, decreased rapidly as seeds matured. In ether-extractable glycolipid of mature Suweon 10 seeds, content of linolenic acid was 51.1% which was higher than 19.4% of oleic acid of total acids. However, in Jeju variety, content of oleic acid was 31% which was higher than 18.6% of linolenic acid. Phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl glycerol and lysophosphatidyl inositol were major constituents of phospholipids. Content of phosphatidyl glycerol in developing seeds showed irregular changes in Jeju but in Suweon 10, it decreased after rapid increase in the early stage of seed development. Olieic acid ranges $28.7{\sim}35.2%$, linolenic acid $8.2{\sim}11.2%$, linoleic acid $16.4{\sim}32.5%$ and Palmitic acid $22.7{\sim}29.9%$ of total fatty acids in methanol-ertractible phospholipid of mature perilla seeds.

Various classes of phospholipids were investigated for the structural determination of fatty acyl groups by fast atom bombardment tandem mass spectrometry (FAB-MS/MS). Phospholipids were desorbed by FAB as molecules chelated with sodium ion (or ions). Collision-induced dissociation (CID) of intact sodium adduct molecular ions ([M+Na]+, [M-H+2Na]+ or [M+Na-2H]-) produced a series of homologous fragment ions via the charge-remote fragmentation along the fatty acid chains. These ions were found useful to locate the double bond positions even for the polyunsaturated fatty acid chains. The regiospecificity of the acyl chain linkages in phosphatidylcholine (PC) could also be determined based on the ratio of relative abundance of the product ions (i.e., [M+Na-85-R2COOH]+ vs [M+Na-85-R1COOH]+) in CID-MS/MS of [M+Na]+. These are generated by the loss of fatty acyl groups at sn-1 and sn-2, respectively, together with the choline group. In all the phospholipid compounds investigated, loss of the fatty acid at the sn-2 position was dominant. The present method was applied to the structural determination of molecular species of phosphatidylglycerols (PG) isolated from cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.
