Faecal steroid measurements for the assessment of reproductive function in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) and kakapo (Strigops habroptilus) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Physiology at Massey University [PDF]
The kakapo (Strigops habroptilus) is an endangered parrot endemic to New Zealand and little is known of its reproductive physiology. Reproductive function is conventionally determined by the measurement of reproductive steroids in plasma samples. This is

Conversion of cholesterol injected into man to cholestanol via a 3-ketonic intermediate
Cholesterol-3-3H,4-14C was injected intravenously in man and its transformation to cholestanol was studied. From the 3H:14C ratios in cholestanol isolated from blood, evidence for the participation of a ketonic intermediate in the conversion was obtained.
