Vervet monkeys were fed a suspension of β‐sitosterol in corn oil Acidic steroids, were separated from a 4‐day pool of feces and subjected, after fraction, to gas liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Evidence for the presence of derivatives of 27‐carboxysitosterol, 27‐carboxysitostanol and 7‐hydroxy, 27‐carboxysitostanol is adduced.
