Plasma Campesterol Is Positively Associated with Carotid Plaques in Asymptomatic Subjects
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 Background: Increased cholesterol absorption and reduced synthesis are processes that have been associated with cardiovascular disease risk in a controversial way. However, most of the studies involving markers of cholesterol synthesis and absorption include conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, which can be confounding factors.

Activity Against Pythium insidiosum and Isolated Constituents of Cordia insignis Roots. [PDF]
Chem BiodiversThis study investigates the roots of Cordia insignis in search of novel treatments for pythiosis, caused by the oomycete Pythium insidiosum. Seven compounds are isolated, including steroids, a saponin, a coumarin, a fatty acid, and a glycoside, the latter two are reported for the first time in the genus.

Genetic control of sterol esterification in developing wheat endosperm [PDF]
, 1975 1. 1. The action of gene Pln, previously characterized by the sterol ester patterns of mature whole wheat kernels, has been found to be restricted to the endosperm and not to affect the embryo, the pericarp or the seed coat. 2. 2.
