AB - Abstract Prediapause summer adult Oulema melanopus (L.) were fed acetate-1-C14 and their total lipid was fractionated by silicic acid chromatography. Most of the acetatc-1-C14 was incorporated into the triglyceride fraction (75%), saturated hydrocarbons (13%), phospholipids (5.5%), and the steryl esters (2.2%). The remainder of the radioactivity was distributed among the rest of the lipid fractions eluted with about 1% of it in the unsaturated hydrocarbon fraction. Gas-liquid chromatographic analysis of the fatty acid moeities of the eluted lipid fractions demonstrated that most of the acetate-1-C14 was incorporated into palmitic (15–30%) and oleic acids (54–77%). The relative distribution of fatty acids measured by peak area also demonstrated high quantities of linolenic acid (8–59%). The latter method of analysis showed also that stearic acid was high (19%) in the steryl esters fraction. The high quantities of linolenic and stearic acids found were thought to be of nutritional origin. This content is only available as a PDF.
