A study on cholesterol content in some tissues of the Saudi frog: Rana ridibunda.
1. Cholesterol content of selected tissues in the Saudi frog Rana ridibunda was determined. 2. Total cholesterol content was higher in tissues involved in water loss, ranging from 12.22 +/- 0.28 to 40.3 +/- 0.79 mg/g. 3. In tissues not involved in water loss, total cholesterol content ranged from 2.42 +/- 0.18 to 19.30 +/- 0.39 mg/g.
