Biosynthesis of plant sterols. Conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone inDigitalis purpurea

Résumé Un échantillon purifié de cholestérol-4-C¹⁴ a été absorbé par des feuilles de 2 plantes deDigitalis purpurea. Après 18 jours on a extrait les plantes et séparé les composés radioactifs. Environ 1% des métabolites globales a été constaté en forme de pregnénolone. Ainsi le cholestérol peut agir comme précurseur des stérols végétaux.
