'Bound' lipids persist in ester wax sections of tissues fixed in glutaraldehyde. They do not take up Sudan black B. They are unmasked by dilute sodium hypochlorite and then stain readily with the Sudan dye and are extractable in warm chloroform and methanol. Bound lipids have been studied in tissues from the mouse and from the insects Rliodnius, Periplaneta and Calliphora. They are so widely di...
