Total lipids from the lenses of pigs, calves, cattle and fin whales have been separated into different fractions. Their lipid content seems to be the lowest of all organs. The predominant lipid classes are cholesterol, ethanolamine cephalines, and sphingomyelines. The analysis of the fatty acids after saponification showed differences in the main components depending on the source of the material. In all cases 5–7% hydrocarbons were found which are probably of alimentary origin and are deposited in the lens.
