[Seasonal shifts in the chemical makeup of the fatty tissue of the Arctic suslik, Citellus parryi].
Fat stores in three forms of adipose tissue (brown, subcutaneous and visceral) differ in their composition in five populations of the ground squirrel C. parryi. Oleic aicd content is always several times higher in subcutaneous and visceral fat during spring period as compared to the content of linoleic acid. Linoleic and linoleic acids content increased in autumn animals, although in the most northern population it remained unchanged.
