The floating lab-lab contained cholesterol (40.2% of total sterols), 24-methycholesterol (14.0%), 24-methylcholesta-5, 22-dienol (17.3%), 24-ethylcholesterol (7.2%), and 24-ethylcholesta-5, 22-dienol (9.7%) as the major sterols. In the adhering lab-lab, 24-E-ethylidenecholesterol (13.3%) was the prominent sterol in addition to the above-mentioned five sterols. The snail contained cholesterol (54.9%), cholest-7-enol (5.9%), 24-methylcholesterol (12.6%), 24-ethylcholesterol (3.9%), cholesta-5, 22-dienol (6.7%), 24-methylcholesta-5, 22-dienol (9.4%), cholesta-5, 24-dienol (6.0%), and small amount of 24-norcholesta-5, 22-dienol (0.5%). The fatty acid composition of floating lab-lab resembled that of adhering lab-lab. The two types of lab-lab contained palmitic (16:0) and palmitoleic (16:1) acids as the major fatty acids and substancial amounts of linoleic (18:2ω6, 3.6% and 6.1%) and linolenic (18:3ω3, 4.5%) acids. But, the lab-lab involved very low levels of eicosapentaenoic (20:3ω3) and docosahexaenoic (22:6ω3) acids.}, pages = {317--323}, title = {Sterols and Fatty Acids of the Lab-lab and Snail from the Milkfish-Pond}, volume = {30}, year = {} }
