• Bioconversion of organic wastes into biodiesel and animal feed via insect farming (2016, background): “The majority of the lipid stored in the insect body is triglyceride, which is synthesized from carbohydrates, fatty acids, or proteins [41,42].”
• Lipid content of terrestrial arthropods in relation to body size, phylogeny, ontogeny and sex (2011, background): “…proteins and carbohydrates (Beenakkers et al., 1985; O’Brien, 1999), lipids are an energy dense and rapidly mobilized fuel (Beenakkers et al., 1985; Canavoso et al., 2001) that can be stored in anhydrous form, provide more calories per unit mass than glycogen and yield more metabolic water than…”
• Trophic transfer of fatty acids from gut microbiota to the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris L (2006, background): “In addition, it has been shown that linoleate, long considered an essential FA, can be biosynthesized by several insects (Stanley-Samuelson et al., 1988; Canavoso et al., 2001).”
• Pollen and nectar quality drive the major and minor floral choices of bumble bees (2014, background): “Many insect species are not able to metabolize the δ-7 stigmasterol, as they lack the enzyme to break the δ-7 bond (Canavoso et al. 2001; Janson et al. 2009).”
• Meeting the energetic demands of insect diapause: nutrient storage and utilization. (2007, background): “The fat body is the primary site of fatty acid synthesis, triacylglyceride production, and triacylglyceride storage in insects, although some triacylglycerides are stored in metabolically active tissues such as the thoracic flight musculature (Zera and Denno, 1997; Canavoso et al., 2001).”
• INSECT FAT BODY: ENERGY, METABOLISM, AND REGULATION (2010, background): “Lipid is the main fat body component, and more than 90% of the lipid stored is triglyceride (17,30).”
• A handbook for uncovering the complete energetic budget in insects: the van Handel's method (1985) revisited (2012, background): “Neutral lipids are essentially (but not only) triglycerides and may be used as a relevant proxy for lipid reserves in most insect species, whereas polar lipids are mainly phospholipids that are major structural components of the biological membranes (Canavoso et al., 2001).”
