title: Evidence for the metabolism of phospholipids and triacylglycerols in human Ascaris lumbricoides.
abstract: Human Ascaris lumbricoides has the necessary mechanism for the biosynthesis and degradation of phospholipids and triacylglycerols, as in most other species. Piperazine decreases the level of triacylglycerols of this parasite by stimulating the activity of lipase and partially inhibiting the activity of phosphatidate phosphatase.
