  <name>5beta-Cholestane</name>
  <description>5beta-cholestane, also known as coprostane or pseudocholestane, is a member of the class of compounds known as cholestane steroids. Cholestane steroids are steroids with a structure containing the 27-carbon cholestane skeleton. Thus, 5beta-cholestane is considered to be a sterol lipid molecule. 5beta-cholestane can be found in rice, which makes 5beta-cholestane a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
