Abstrakt: 1.1. The constituent fatty acids of the neutral and phospholipids of Macrobdella ditetra, Nephelopsis obscura, Philobdella gracilisand Hirudo medicinalishave 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.
