Abstract excerpt

Lipids of Drosophila heads were extracted and separated by high-performance thin-layer chromatography. Fatty acid compositions of major phospholipids as well as of triglycerides were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography. Proportions of the major fatty acids (14:0, 16:0, 16:1, 18:0, 18:1, 18:2, 1...
