Studies on the energy reserve of Fasciola gigantica from Nigerian Zebu cattle.
As energy reserves in the body tissue of mature liver flukes var. Fasciola gigantica from the bile ducts of Nigerian Zebu cattle the following percentages were found: protein 60.29, lipid 11.92, carbohydrate 7.0. The analysis of the lipid fractions showed the following composition: 47% phospholipids (63% phosphatidyl choline, 28% phosphatidyl serine, 9% lysophosphatidyl choline) and 22% triglycerides, 16% fatty acids, 6% cholesterol, 5% monoacyl glycerol, and 4% cholesterol ester.
