Characterization of Fatty Acid Methyl Esters in Selected Bornean Frog

Distribution of fatty acids in lipids extracted from the skins of Bornean frogs (Bufonidae, Ranidae, Megophryidae, Microhylidae, Ceratobrachidae, Rhacophoridae) were studied to determine the significance of fatty acids in frogs. Previous study on lipid composition of various fauna showed that lipid...
