Comparison between phospholipids (PL) from carotids in control and Provinols-treated rats.

Percent distribution of PL	ZF	ZF + Provinols
PE	41.6 ± 6.4	50 ± 2.7
PC	38 ± 5.7	33.9 ± 1.9
SM	13 ± 4.4	9.4 ± 1
PS	4.8 ± 1.2	4.3 ± 0.6
PI	2.6 ± 1.6	2.5 ± 0.4
PG	Nd	Nd
Total PL (nmol/mg)	3.8 ± 1.3	3.6 ± 0.9

Data are means ± SEM. Total phospholipids (PL) are expressed as nanomoles per mg of tissue wet weight. Difference between groups at (). PE: phosphatidylethanolamine; PC: phosphatidylcholine; SM: sphigomyeline; PS: phosphatidylserine; PI: phosphatidylinositol, PG: phosphatidylglycerol; Nd: not detected.
