The Sterols of Seafood

TLDR
The sterols other than cholesterol give different chromogens in the calorimetric analysis for sterols, which may account in part for the variability in the “cholesterol” values found in the literature.
Abstract
SUMMARY The sterol composition of several varieties of seafood was assayed by gas-liquid chromatography. Cholesterol is the major sterol (over 90%) in haddock, pollock, salmon, shrimp, and lobster. The predominant sterols in oyster are cholesterol (41%) and 24.methylenecholesterol (26%), and in crab the major sterols are cholesterol (57%) and brassicasterol (37%). Scallop and clam contain a large number of sterols, the predominant one being cholesterol (26 and 37%, respectively). The sterols other than cholesterol give different chromogens in the calorimetric analysis for sterols, which may account in part for the variability in the “cholesterol” values found in the literature.

The influence of season on the lipid profiles of five commercially important species of Brazilian fish

TL;DR: The sardine, the croaker, the tilapia and the curimbata were not influenced by seasonality in terms of their total saturated and unsaturated acid contents, and the shrimp presented the highest cholesterol contents.

The absorption and metabolism of cholesterol and its main companions in the rabbit; with observations on the atherogenic nature of the sterols.

TL;DR: The distribution of the sterols was determined and shown to consist in the case of the unsaturated sterol feeding experiments of Δ6-cholestenol, indicating interconversion and with the cholestanol-fed animals the percentage of cholESTanol in the serum, liver, and carcasses was much greater than with the other sterols, indicating storage.
