| Abstract: | The concentration of fluorescent pigment associated with the oxidation of polyunsaturated lipids is significantly higher in old worker bees than in newly emerged worker adults. Pentane and hexane are produced by bees, presumably by decomposition of lipid hydroperoxides formed by peroxidation of membrane lipids. Protection against lipid peroxidation by vitamin E and glutathione peroxidase appears to be minimal in bees. |
