Abstract

Lipid classes and fatty acid compositions of a digenetic trematode, Isoparorchis hypselobagri inhabiting swim bladder of Wallago attu were analyzed by TLC and GLC. The total lipid (TL) and percent content of neutral lipid (NL, 61.59), glycolipid (GL, 19.78) and phospholipid (PL, 18.62) were recorded. The total lipid is 3.81 % of the wet weight of the body tissue. The total percent of saturates, monoenes, dienes and polyenes in TL, NL, GL, and PL of the parasite were 52.0, 49.7, 57.9, 61.5; 31.7, 31.8, 33.1, 26.3; 5.7, 5.7, 4.7, 4.2; as well as 10.33, 12.6, 4.3, 7.4 respectively. Diunsaturated fatty acids were present in low amount. Palmitic 16:0 (among all saturates) and oleic 18:1ω9 (among all unsaturates) acids were the predominant fatty acids in the parasite recorded.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
