Disruption of Endoplasmic Reticulum and ROS Production in Human Ovarian Cancer by Campesterol [PDF]
Antioxidants, 2021 Phytosterols, which are present in a variety of foods, exhibit various physiological functions and do not have any side effects. Here, we attempted to identify functional role of campesterol in regulation of oxidative stress by leading to cell death of ...

Ajuga Δ24-Sterol Reductase Catalyzes the Direct Reductive Conversion of 24-Methylenecholesterol to Campesterol* [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2016 Dimunito/Dwarf1 (DWF1) is an oxidoreductase enzyme that is responsible for the conversion of C28- and C29-Δ24(28)-olefinic sterols to 24-methyl- and 24-ethylcholesterols. Generally, the reaction proceeds in two steps via the Δ24(25) intermediate. In this

Oxidation of β-sitosterol and campesterol in sunflower oil upon deep- and pan-frying of French fries [PDF]
Journal of Food Science and Technology, 2015 Fried foods, both deep-fried and pan-fried, are enjoyed by people worldwide. Frying is one of the main factors leading to formation of phytosterols (PS) oxidation products (POP) in vegetable oils. The aim of this study was to measure the oxidation of β-sitosterol (24α-ethyl-5-cholesten-3β-ol) and campesterol (24α-methyl-5-cholesten-3β-ol) in commercial
