Lipid Mobilization and Acyl-Coenzyme A Dehydrogenase Abundance in the Postpharyngeal Gland of a Leaf-Cutting Ant
The postpharyngeal gland (PPG) in ants has a central role in lipid accumulation. Our objective was to investigate whether the PPG of workers of the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens rubropilosa (F.) performs lipid mobilization to the hemolymph, and to verify whether lipids in gland cells are in part oxi...
