5α‐Cholestan‐3β‐ol (cholestanol) was isolated from the testes of White Carneau pigeons in the highest concentration thus far reported in any animal tissue. It contributed 26% to 28% of the total sterols (384±29.4 μg cholestanol per gram of wet tissue) in testis, and about 27% of it was esterified. The identity of this stanol was confirmed by AgNO 3 thin layer chromatography, gas liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Ovaries, liver, plasma and other tissues of this pigeon contained this stanol only to the extent of 2% to 10% of total sterols.
