title: Serum lipoproteins in the spiny lobster, Panulirus interruptus.
abstract: 1. Most of the lipids in the hemolymph of the spiny lobster, Panulirus interruptus, were associated with a high density lipoprotein (HDL3). The lipid of this lipoprotein was composed of phospholipid (88%), sterol (4%) and triglyceride (3%). 2. In animals fed 14C-labeled triglyceride radioactivity was not seen in the serum until 12 hr after feeding. Most of this serum radioactivity was associated with phosphatidyl choline. 3. Electron micrographs showed that negatively stained high density lipoproteins of the lobster had a polymorphic appearance.
