| Abstract: | The effect of a range of diets with varying cholesterol content on the sterol composition of the barnacle Balanus balanoides (L.) has been studied.The animals appear able to maintain their sterol composition for considerable periods (4 months), both quantitatively and qualitatively, in the absence of dietary sterols. This suggests either an extremely slow metabolic turnover or some capacity for de novo synthesis of sterols from other biochemical components. |
