Diacylglycerol transport in the insect fat body: evidence of involvement of lipid droplets and the cytosolic fraction

Diacylglycerol transport in the insect fat body: evidence of involvement of lipid droplets and the cytosolic fraction

In this report we show the existence of a distinct pool of fat body diacylglycerol (DG) that can be distinguished from the bulk DG. This is a dynamic pool of DG that uses FA entering the fat body from the hemolymph, whereas the bulk DG uses the fatty acids stored in the fat body fat droplets. Using...
