Quantitative determination of inositol in Hymenolepis diminuta (Cestoda).
Myoinositol and scylloinositol have been identified qualitatively and quantitatively by gas-liquid chromatography in Hymenolepis diminuta. No myoinosose-2 was detected. Myoinositol was unevenly distributed throughout the worm. The scolex and neck regions contained more free- and phosphatidyl-bound inositol. This region also contained more lipid-bound phosphorus, but less total lipid and water.
