[Free fatty acids and hydrocarbons in cerebrospinal fluid (author's transl)].

Initial experiments on the constant appearance of unesterified fatty acids and hydrocarbons in cereborspinal fluid are presented. With the present method of analysis, these two groups of substances can always be detected in cerebrospinal fluid. The constitution of the unesterified fatty acids as well as the hydrocarbons was determined using gaschromatography linked to mass spectrometry.
