Distinct regional differences in dolichol content were defined in human brain from 15 to 76 years of age. Concerning the regional distribution of dolichol, levels were: higher in cortical gray matter than in subcortical white matter, highest among cortical regions in temporal gray matter, highest among all brain regions in thalamus, and lowest among all brain regions in lower brain stem and spinal cord. The developmental changes in the contents of dolichol were found to be different among brain regions. For example, among regions with the highest levels of dolichol, in thalamus there was a six to sevenfold increase, but in parietal gray matter, only a 2.5-fold increase. Regional and developmental changes in the proportions of the individual molecular species (isoprenologues) of dolichol were also observed. The findings indicate that the metabolism of dolichol is not uniform among regions of developing and aging human brain and may have implications for the role of dolichol in normal and diseased human brain.
