In vivo and in vitro loading of lipid by artificially lipid-depleted lipophorins: evidence for the role of lipophorin as a reusable lipid shuttle.

Lipid transport in the hemolymph of Manduca sexta is facilitated by a high density lipophorin in the resting adult insect (HDLp-A, d approximately 1.109 g/ml) and by a low density lipophorin during flight (LDLp, d approximately 1.060 g/ml). Lipophorin presumably shuttles different lipids between sit...
