In these killer clams, cholesterol, brassicasterol, 22,23-dihydrobrassicasterol and 24-methylenecholesterol were present as prominent sterols. The sterol composition of killer clams was fairly different with that of other pelecypods, and pointed out to be unique in the occurrence of large amounts (34-65% in total sterols) of 22,23-dihydrobrassicasterol.}, pages = {105--110}, title = {Sterols of the Killer Clams, Mollusca Pelecypoda}, volume = {23}, year = {} }
