The horseshoe crab, Trachypleus tridentus, contained cholesterol (78.0%) and small amounts of C27-, C28-, and C29-sterols with Δ^<0>, Δ^<5>, or Δ^<5,22>-bond besides C26-Δ^<5,22>-sterols. Cholesterol was also the major component in the sea caterpillar, Chloeia flava (75.3%) and the warf monkey, Ligia exotica (81.5%). The latter two invertebrates possessed C27, C28, and C29-sterols as a minor component besides cholesterol.}, pages = {311--316}, title = {Sterols of the Horseshoe Crab, the Sea Caterpillar, and the Warf Monkey}, volume = {30}, year = {} }
