Abstract
Certain marine animal sterols, notably those from lugworms (Arenicola marina), sea anemones and oysters, exhibit absorption bands identical with those of ergosterol and, calculated as such, indicate the presence of 5-12% of the absorbing substance. The lugworm sterols exhibit in addition, maxima at 346, 328 and 316 m[mu], closely comparable with those of dehydro-ergosterol.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
