Effects of lecithin on cholesterol digestibility in the prawn, Artemesia longinaris (Crustacea, Penaeidae)
Cholesterol and dietary phospholipids are important to the growth and survival of crustaceans. Soy lecithin enhances cholesterol solubilization while phosphatidylcholine transfers cholesterol from the hepatopancreas to the hemolymph. To study the influence of dietary lecithin on digestibility and tr...

Cholesterol and dietary phospholipids are important to the growth and survival of crustaceans.
