Abstract

Trogoderma granarium lipids were separated into 10 classes by thin-layer chromatography. The lipids detected were phospholipids, monoglycerides, diglycerides, sterols, free fatty acids (FFA), triglycerides, sterol esters, and hydrocarbons. [1- 14C]Palmitate is esterified rapidly into TG. After 0.5 hour a third of the total label was found in the TG fraction with a concomitant loss in the FFA. The rate of incorporation was similar in non-diapause and diapause larvae. Electropherograms from diapause and control larvae showed differences in the protein pattern which may reflect the physiological and nutritional state of the two groups of animals.
