Lipid and fatty acid compositions of a trematode, Isoparorchis hypselobagri Billet, 1898 (Digenea: Isoparorchiidae) infecting swim bladder of Wallago attu in the district North 24-Parganas of West Bengal
Lipid classes and fatty acid compositions of a digenetic trematode, Isoparorchis hypselobagri inhabiting swim bladder of Wallago attu were analyzed by TLC and GLC. The total lipid (TL) and percent content of neutral lipid (NL, 61.59), glycolipid (GL, 19.78) and phospholipid (PL, 18.62) were recorded...

| Summary: | Lipid classes and fatty acid compositions of a digenetic trematode, Isoparorchis hypselobagri inhabiting swim bladder of Wallago attu were analyzed by TLC and GLC. The total lipid (TL) and percent content of neutral lipid (NL, 61.59), glycolipid (GL, 19.78) and phospholipid (PL, 18.62) were recorded. The total lipid is 3.81 % of the wet weight of the body tissue. The total percent of saturates, monoenes, dienes and polyenes in TL, NL, GL, and PL of the parasite were 52.0, 49.7, 57.9, 61.5; 31.7, 31.8, 33.1, 26.3; 5.7, 5.7, 4.7, 4.2; as well as 10.33, 12.6, 4.3, 7.4 respectively. Diunsaturated fatty acids were present in low amount. Palmitic 16:0 (among all saturates) and oleic 18:1ω9 (among all unsaturates) acids were the predominant fatty acids in the parasite recorded. |
