Storage of Gangliosides GM2 and Fucosyl GM1 in the Kidney of MCC Strain of Mastomys (Praomys coucha)

Previously, we histochemically examined the kidney of the MCC strain of mastomys (Praomys coucha) and found the storage of gangliosides. In the present studies, the lipid-bound sialic acid content of gangliosides in the MCC kidney was about 9- to 14-fold higher than that of the control (MWC strain)....
