Lipids comprised 37% and 22.1%, respectively, of the day weights of brush border- and vesicle-rich fractions separated by differential centrifugation of isolated H. diminuta tegument. Neutral lipids of both fractions were rich in cholesterol, but also contained small amounts of glycerides, sterol esters, and (in brush borders) free fatty acids. Phosphatidyl ethanolamine was the most prevalent polar lipid in both fractions, and was particularly abundant (63.4% of total polar lipids) in vesicles; sphingomyelin, not previously reported from H. diminuta, was also present. Polar lipids of both tegumental fractions resembled each other but differed from whole worm polar lipids in fatty acid composition. Tegumental polar lipids contained lower levels of long-chain, polyunsaturated fatty acids than reported for corresponding lipids of whole worms.
