Abstract
The rate of disappearance of intubated epoxycholesterol from the rat gastro-intestinal tract has been determined. The loss of this sterol is accompanied by the appearance of a sterol metabolite. This was isolated by preparative GLC and TLC and identified by mass spectrometry as 5α-cholestan-3β-5α, 6-β-triol.
