| Abstract: | - 1.1. The constituent fatty acids of the neutral and phospholipids of Macrobdella ditetra, Nephelopsis obscura, Philobdella gracilis and Hirudo medicinalis have been determined.
- 2.2. Unsaturated fatty acids predominated in both neutral and phospholipid fractions of all leech species examined.
- 3.3. Arachidonic acid (20:4) was the most prevalent fatty acid in all species, accounting for as much as 36.7% of the total phospholipid fatty acids.
