LC–MS-based metabolome analysis on steroid metabolites from the starfish Patiria (= Asterina ) pectinifera in conditions of active feeding and stresses

Conclusion Our results indicate that various metabolic changes in polar steroid constituents of P. pectinifera are induced by feeding and stresses. We believe that these responses are connected with biological multifunctionality of these compounds.
