Comparative study of content of main lipid fractions was carried out in five parts of rabbit myocardium by means of thin-layer chromatography on silicagel with subsequent quantitative estimation. Increased concentrations of free and esterified cholesterol, free fatty acids and triglycerides were observed in atrium dextrum and triglycerides in ventriculus dexter as compared with either the corresponding left-side parts of the heart muscle or with septum interventriculare. Content of cholesterol esters, free fatty acids and triglycerides was higher in atrium dextrum as compared with ventriculus dexter. The lowest concentration of phospholipids was approximately the same in other parts of the heart muscle.
