Gingiva of the upper buccal, lower buccal, upper front, lower front, lower lingual, and palate regions was removed from the mouth of four young male beagle dogs. The complete polar and neutral lipid composition of these tissues was determined in each of the six regions. There were no observable statistically significant differences between the compositions of the lipid families assayed in relation to the location of the regions of the buccal cavity. The analysis also suggests that the lipid composition of the beagle is unique and different from other species as far as it concerns the neutral and phospholipid family components of the gingiva.
