Structure and composition of sulfatides isolated from livers of patients with metachromatic leukodystrophy: galactosyl sulfatide and lactosyl sulfatide

The livers of four patients with metachromatic leukodystrophy contained galactosyl sulfatide and lactosyl sulfatide, whereas these substances were undetectable in normal human liver. On the basis of methanolysis and permethylation studies, both sulfatides were shown to be substituted with sulfate at...
