Figure 2

3H-sulfatide uptake in the pancreas. The autoradiography plate is showing the uptake of 3H-C12:0 sulfatide (A) and 3H-C16:0 sulfatide (B) in the pancreas isolated from ob/ob mice 6 and 24 hours after i.p. administration. Lipid isolation, thin-layer chromatography and autoradiography are described under "Methods". Aliquots of the saponified "sulfatide fractions", corresponding to 2 500–3 500 dpm, were applied to the plate (one representative plate is shown). A. Lane 1, 3H-C12:0 sulfatide; 3H-C12:0 sulfatide taken up by pancreas 6 hours (lane 2) and 24 hours (lane 3) after administration. B. Lane 1, 3H-C16:0 sulfatide; 3H-C16:0 sulfatide taken up by pancreas 6 hours (lane 2) and 24 hours (lane 3) after administration.
