Study of Glycolipid Profiles of Low Grade Astrocytomas

Year: 1995

Type: article

Abstract: We analyzed the glycolipid composition of eight cases with low grade astrocytomas. In all of the cases the composition of neutral glycolipids was notably different from the normal brain. The composition of acidic glycolipids was almost the same as normal. An increase of minor gangliosides as well as some that are usually undetectable in the normal brain was recognized in acidic glycolipids. We classified those glycolipid alterations into three types : a) an increase in short chain gangliosides ; b) novel expression of lacto series gang-liosides ; and c) both a) and b). Glycolipids did not correlate with microscopic findings, proliferation (Ki-index), or prognosis.
