Abstract
The female mosquito, in contrast to the male mosquito or the male and female house fly, synthesizes triglycerides when maintained on glucose; after 7 days, the amount of triglycerides in the female may be 50 times that in the male. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are absent from the newly synthesized triglycerides.Keywords
