Data have been presented on total cholesterol, free cholesterol, phospholipid, and total lipid content of non-irradiated and x-ray irradiated skin of rabbits. Cholesterol of both non-irradiated or irradiated skin alike comprises mostly free cholesterol and only relatively small amounts, 9 to 13%, cholesteryl esters. Phospholipids of both nonradiated or irradiated skin conslsts of about 48 to 53% lecithin, 21% phosphatidyl etheanolamine, 11 to 12% phosphatidyl serine, rather small amounts of ethanolamineplasmagens, and a relatively large amount, 18 to 21%, of unidentified phospholipids. Ionizing irradiation of the skin of rabbits has not significantly affected the lipids under study. (auth)
