| Abstract: | Comparative analysis of quantitative phospholipid composition of blood erythrocytes was performed on various species of mouse-like rodents. In erythrocyte phospholipids of common voles there was revealed a relatively low sphingomyelin content, not characteristic of mammals. A hypothesis is put forwards that the unique lipid composition in common vole erythrocytes might be one of adaptation mechanisms for survival of the animals under conditions of pathogenic stress. |
