Abstract:Summary
Incorporation studies with labelled substrates, sodium‐1‐C14‐acetate and U‐C14‐D‐glucose demonstrated that the adult H. contortus (Rud., 1803) has extremely active mechanisms for synthesizing all classes of complex lipids including free cholesterol. More of the label from acetate than from glucose is incorporated into total lipids. With both precursors, there is more polar (P) than non‐polar lipid (NP) synthesis, the P/NP ratio being 3.991 in the case of acetate and 1.223 in the case of glucose. Among … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
