Abstract
This review examines the use of thin-layer chromatography (TLC) for the analysis of neutral lipids and phospholipids in medically and economically important gastropod molluscs (snails). It discusses methods for isolating lipids from snails, and the use of layers, mobile phases, and detection reagents for the TLC analysis of snail neutral lipids and phospholipids. Quantitative densitometric studies are reviewed, with particular emphasis on class separations of neutral lipids and phospholipids. The review considers significant findings on the effects of diet and larval trematode parasitism on lipids in snails as determined by TLC.
