Phytosterols Are Involved in Sclareol-Induced Chlorophyll Reductions in Arabidopsis
Plants, 2023 Sclareol, a diterpene, has a wide range of physiological effects on plants, such as antimicrobial activity; disease resistance against pathogens; and the expression of genes encoding proteins involved in metabolism, transport, and phytohormone ...

Phytosterol plasma concentrations and coronary heart disease in the prospective Spanish EPIC cohort
Journal of Lipid Research, 2010 Phytosterol intake with natural foods, a measure of healthy dietary choices, increases plasma levels, but increased plasma phytosterols are believed to be a coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factor.

Seasonal Fluctuations of Plastochromanol‐8 and α‐Tocopherol Amounts in the Leaves of Cecropia Trees
Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plastochromanol‐8 (PC‐8) is a homologue of γ‐tocotrienol with a longer side chain (eight instead of three isoprene units) and therefore also a representative of the tocochromanol (vitamin E) group. PC‐8 has been determined in various plants and seeds, with Cecropia sp. leaves showing unusually high levels.

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.Abstract Saturated fats (SFAs) play a complex role in health; therefore, their intake has been a topic of debate in the field of nutrition science. Therefore, this article emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet rather than SFA, considering genetic and metabolic differences, and advocates for the reconsideration of dietary guidelines based on the ...

Identification of Brassinosteroids That Appear to Be Derived from Campesterol and Cholesterol in Tomato Shoots [PDF]
Plant and Cell Physiology, 1997 Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroidal plant hormones that are widely distributed in higher plants. When applied exogenously, BRs have various physiological effects on the growth and development of plants (Sakurai and Fujioka 1993). The activities of BRs can be distinguished from those of other plant hormones, such as auxins and gibberellins (Sasse 1990,
