Popis: | The sterol composition of Spheciospongia vesparia from the Caribbean Sea is reported. Three groups of sterols, Δ 5 , Δ 0 , Δ 5,7 , were found. The isolated 5α,8α-epidioxy sterols appeared to be predominantly, if not exclusively, artifacts. The auto-oxidation of native Δ 5,7 -sterols to 5α,8α-epidioxy sterols has been investigated. A transformation of dietary Δ 5 -sterols to Δ 5,7 -sterols has been demonstrated in Spheciospongia vesparia. |
