Abstract
Cholestanol (4.6%) and plant sterols (0.2%) have been demonstrated, for the first time, in avian skin by argentation and gas liquid chromatography. In contrast to results of previous studies with rat and human skin, cholestanol represented a significant amount in the pigeon. The proportion of campesterol was always higher than that of β-sitosterol.
