DIGLYCERIDE RELEASE FROM INSECT FAT BODY: A POSSIBLE MEANS OF LIPID TRANSPORT.
Lipid is released in the form of diglyceride from the fat body of the cecropia silkmoth (Hyalophora cecropia), in both adults and pupae. This diglyceride, in the form of a complex with hemolymph protein, is the most probable means by which lipid is transported in this insect.
