Abstract
The predominant form in which lipid is transported from fat body is as diacylglycerol associated with a specific hemolymph lipoprotein. The initial reports for the silkworm, Hyalophora cecropia, the grasshopper, Melanoplus differentialis, and the cockroach, Periplaneta americana, (Chino and Gilbert, 1964, 1965) have been confirmed by many investigators and extended to other species, including the locust, Locusta migratoria (Tietz, 1967).
