Liver and plasma lipids of spawning burbot

Levels of liver and plasma lipids of the burbot Lota lota were highest before reproduction and decreased during and after spawning. Triacylglycerols accounted for 95% of the liver lipids. High concentrations of leptin‐immunoreactive peptide were present in the burbot liver, suggesting that it may be...

Description
Summary:Levels of liver and plasma lipids of the burbot Lota lota were highest before reproduction and decreased during and after spawning. Triacylglycerols accounted for 95% of the liver lipids. High concentrations of leptin‐immunoreactive peptide were present in the burbot liver, suggesting that it may be secreted by this organ.
