32P-Labeled fat bodies (32P-fat bodies) of Rhodnius prolixus females were incubated in the presence of nonradioactive purified lipophorin and the release of radioactivity to the medium was analysed to answer the question of whether lipophorin is a reusable shuttle for phospholipids. The radioactivit
