Histochemical studies on the uropygial gland of domestic fowls have shown the presence of sterols (among which cholesterol and its esters) in the lipidic fraction of the gland secret. beta-Glucuronidase activity beside A5 3beta- and 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activities suggests that uropygial gland might be involved in sterols metabolism. By thin layer chromatography cholesterol and 7-dehydrocholesterol can be separated from the uropygial extracts and these compounds can be identified in gas liquid chromatography.
对家禽尾脂腺的组织化学研究表明,在该腺体分泌物的脂质部分存在甾醇(其中包括胆固醇及其酯类)。β-葡萄糖醛酸酶活性以及A5 3β-和17β-羟基类固醇脱氢酶活性表明,尾脂腺可能参与甾醇代谢。通过薄层色谱法,可从尾脂腺提取物中分离出胆固醇和7-脱氢胆固醇,并且这些化合物可在气液色谱法中得到鉴定。
