Abstract
To clarify the transport mechanism of dietary lipids, the labelling pattern of lipid classes was investigated on the lipids extracted from the intestinal content, hind-gut, hepatopancreas, muscle, and hemolymph after oral administration of [14C] tripalmitin to the prawn, Penaeus japonicus. Besides this, the incorporation of radioactivity into serum lipoproteins was examined. Most of the radioactive serum lipids were associated with high density lipoproteins (HDL2 and HDL3) and very high density lipoprotein (VHDL), but not with low density lipoprotein, chylomicron, and very lowe density lipoprotein. The lipids of HDL2, HDL3, and VHDL contained polar lipids as the major radioactive lipid classes. The above data was discussed in relation to the lipid transport mechanism in the prawn, P. japonicus.
