 note = {The present paper deals with the in vivo bioconversion of β-sitosterol to cholesterol in the crab, Portunus trituberculatus. After injection of β-sitosterol-4-^{14}C into the crabs, the sterols were isolated from the whole tissues and the metabolites of β-sitosterol were investigated. As a metabolite, a radioactive cholesterol was detected. The identification of cholesterol-^{14}C was performed by using thin-layer chromatography and recrystallization to constant specificactivity. The results indicated that the crab, P. trituberculatus, is capable of converting β-sitosterol to cholesterol.},
