Abstract

Abstract24‐Methylenecholesterol was positively identified as an intermediate in the dealkylation and the conversion of campesterol to cholesterol in the tobacco hornworm,Manduca sexta (L.). Biochemical and nutritional studies with3H‐labeled campesterol and 24‐methyl‐enecholesterol indicated that the conversion of campesterol to cholesterol in this insect includes the following metabolic sequence: campesterol, 24‐methylene‐cholesterol, desmosterol, cholesterol.
