Abstract : Studies were undertaken to examine the interrelationships of fat bodies to reproductive activity in the lizard Acanthodactylus boskianus. The data obtained indicate, that non-reproductive females had the highest percent of females with dissectable fat bodies. Reproductive females (classes II and III) showed various degrees of fat consumption. Winter animals exhibited a low percent of dissectable fat bodies while Summer animals showed a higher percent. This was attributed to the capacity for lipid replenishment, being greater in Summer. Excessive utilization of fat bodies becomes apparent when animals become ovigerous where the percent of animals with dissectable fat bodies becomes zero both in winter and Summer. The utilization of lipid stores during vitellogenesis is also indicated by the declines recorded in Lipidosomatic index as well as in hepatic lipid content. The total free amino acids in liver displayed a decline during vitellogenesis attributed to the synthesis of vitellogenin. Hepatic protein content declined during vitellogenesis which might be due to active export of proteins to the growing follicles. The importance of such changes in relevance to reproductive activity were discussed.
