Effects of diet and metamorphosis upon the sterol composition of the butterfly Morpho peleides
Whole body sterol metabolism in insects has seldom been studied. We were able to design an appropriate study at a butterfly farm in Belize. We collected six larvas of butterfly (Morpho peleides), their food (leaves of Pterocarpus bayessii), and their ...

Serum plant sterols and biliary cholesterol secretion in humans
Ratios of cholestanol, campesterol, and sitosterol to cholesterol in serum are known to reflect cholesterol absorption efficiency. Here, a possible link between these ratios and biliary secretion rates of cholesterol was investigated.
