Sterols from pollen collected by foraging honeybees, Apis rnellifera L, at seven field sites were compared with the sterols of foraging adults andlor prepupae collected from colonies at each site. Invariably, the composition of prepupal sterols was Comparable to that found in previous cage studies using chemically defined diets containing various dietary sterols: 24-methylenecholesterol was the...

represent a minor source of cholesterol (Ibanez et al., 2000). In this work we analyzed the sterol content of agricultural soils. Ergosterol is the main endogenous sterol of fungi and Three eukaryotic sterols, cholesterol, -sitosterol, and ergosterol were of some microalgae. Ergosterol content in fungal cells chosen as representative of the animal, plant, and fungal kingdoms, varies in differen...
