Campesterol and β-Sitosterol Content of Some Vegetable Oils
Abstract The free and total campesterol and β-sitosterol content of 48 samples of crude and refined corn, cottonseed, soybean, and peanut oils are reported. The results show that the ratio of β-sitosterol to campesterol may be used to identify an individual oil and tend to confirm that sterols are lost during refining of the crude oils ...

ABSTRACT Medicago sativa L. (alfalfa) harbors a remarkably diverse reservoir of bioactive secondary metabolites. Flavonoids, isoflavones, and triterpenoid saponins dominate its bioactivity landscape, driving potent antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, antimicrobial, estrogenic, hypolipidemic, and cytotoxic actions through redox modulation, membrane ...

Abstract Background and Aims In dialysis patients, cholesterol-lowering therapy with statins is less effective than in other high-risk patients. This may partly be explained by a shift from cholesterol synthesis, which is inhibited by statin treatment, towards cholesterol absorption, which is ...

Fate of intravenously administered squalene and plant sterols in human subjects
We have studied metabolism of plant sterols and squalene administered intravenously in the form of lipid emulsion mimicking chylomicrons (CM). The CM-like lipid emulsion was prepared by dissolving squalene in commercially available Intralipid®.
