Abstract
1. 1. In Musca domestica haemolymph a lipid transfer particle (LTP) is present. 2. 2. Musca domestica LTP is able to catalyze the transfer of lipids between different housefly lipophorin forms and also between lipophorins of Diptera and Lepidoptera. 3. 3. The lipophorin of larval Dione juno (Lepidoptera) was purified and is composed of two apolipoproteins, apolipophorin I ( M r = 209,000) and apolipophorin II ( M r = 85,000) with a density of 1.124 g/ml. 4. 4. The density of housefly lipophorin undergoes variations during the gonotrophic cycle. 5. 5. The lipophorin density variation results suggest that when a high rate of lipid utilization occurs, the lipophorin has a higher density value.
