Lipid transfer from insect fat body to lipophorin: comparison between a mosquito triacylglycerol-rich lipophorin and a sphinx moth diacylglycerol-rich lipophorin
Two insect lipoproteins, triacylglycerol-rich Aedes aegypti lipophorin and diacylglycerol-rich Manduca sexta lipophorin, were compared in their ability to load neutral lipid from fat body. When fat body of M. sexta was incubated in vitro with [3H]oleic acid, all radiolabeled fatty acids were esterif...
