Feeding of the chemically prepared [24-13C, 24-2H]desmosterol to cell-free systems derived from rat liver and silkworm gut and to cultured cells of Oryza sativa followed by deuterium-decoupled 1H, 13C shift correlation NMR analysis of the biosynthesized cholesterol revealed the stereospecific incorporation of hydrogen atoms from the re-face of the C-24 position of desmosterol.
