Histochemical and thin-layer chromatographic analyses of neutral lipids in various host sites infected with Leucochloridiomorpha constantiae (Trematoda). 1984

B Fried, and J D Bradford

Histochemical and thin-layer chromatographic (TLC) analyses were used to study the effects of trematode parasitism by Leucochloridiomorpha constantiae on sites occupied by this fluke. Oil Red O staining showed that the epithelium in infected sites, i.e., bursa of Fabricius of the domestic chicken, chorionic ectoderm of the chick embryo, and uterus of Campeloma decisum snails, was positive for neutral lipids. TLC showed that infection in the bursa caused an increase in free fatty acids and triglycerides in that organ; infection of the chick chorioallantois caused a decrease in free sterols and sterol esters in the membrane; the uterus of infected snails showed elevated free sterols.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008055	Lipids	A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids.

D002642	Chick Embryo	The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK. After 21 days of incubation, the embryo is fully developed before hatching.	Embryo, Chick,Chick Embryos,Embryos, Chick
D002645	Chickens	Common name for the species Gallus gallus, the domestic fowl, in the family Phasianidae, order GALLIFORMES. It is descended from the red jungle fowl of SOUTHEAST ASIA.	Gallus gallus,Gallus domesticus,Gallus gallus domesticus,Chicken
D002823	Chorion	The outermost extra-embryonic membrane surrounding the developing embryo. In REPTILES and BIRDS, it adheres to the shell and allows exchange of gases between the egg and its environment. In MAMMALS, the chorion evolves into the fetal contribution of the PLACENTA.	Chorions
D002855	Chromatography, Thin Layer	Chromatography on thin layers of adsorbents rather than in columns. The adsorbent can be alumina, silica gel, silicates, charcoals, or cellulose.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
