Alterations in content of gluco- and galactocerebrosides were studied in brain of rats of various age. Specific radioactivity of glucocerebrosides exceeded distinctly that of galactocerebrosides. When chronic hyperphenylalaninemia was produced in adult rats, the specific radioactivity of brain cerebrosides and sulfatides decreased significantly. Content of these glycolipid fractions decreased only slightly in liver and spleen tissues.
