Eleven species of Caribbean marine algae (red, green, and brown) were investigated for their cholesterol content. All of them were found to contain this sterol. Consistent with previously reported results, all five red algae contained large quantities of cholesterol. However, the two brown algae and three of the four green algae in our study also contained significant quantities of cholesterol.
对11种加勒比海海洋藻类(红藻、绿藻和褐藻)的胆固醇含量进行了研究。结果发现它们都含有这种固醇。与先前报道的结果一致,所有5种红藻都含有大量胆固醇。然而,我们研究中的两种褐藻和四种绿藻中的三种也含有大量胆固醇。
