The quantitative contribution of glucose to the biosynthesis of lactosyl‐ceramide and other glycosphingolipids was studied in the adult rat brainin vivousing a semicompartmental model. Half‐lives of glucose carbon in both the total carbon pool and the carbohydrate residue of the lipid were calculated. In all glycolipids the half‐life of carbohydrate units was six to eight times shorter than the half‐life of carbon in the total carbon pool of the same lipid. This carbohydrate half‐life appears to be closely related to the turnover rate of the glycolipid. The shortest carbohydrate half‐life (2.2 days) was obtained for lactosyl‐ceramide followed by gangliosides. galactosyl‐ceramides, and sulphatides. The results indicate that lactosyl‐ceramide may serve as a branch point for the biosynthesis of cerebral gangliosidesin vivorather than occur as a breakdown product of more complex molecules.
