Plasma cholesterol homeostasis, HDL remodeling and function during the acute phase reaction[S]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2017 Acute phase reaction (APR) is a systemic inflammation triggered by several conditions associated with lipid profile alterations. We evaluated whether APR also associates with changes in cholesterol synthesis and absorption, HDL structure, composition ...

Efficiency of intestinal cholesterol absorption in humans is not related to apoE phenotype
Journal of Lipid Research, 2003 The present study investigated the role of apolipoprotein E (apoE) phenotype on intestinal cholesterol absorption and cholesterol synthesis. Studies were carried out in eight subjects homozygous for the apoE4 and 12 subjects homozygous for the E2 allele (

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 ...

GAME9 regulates the biosynthesis of steroidal alkaloids and upstream isoprenoids in the plant mevalonate pathway [PDF]
, 2016 Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) are cholesterol-derived molecules produced by solanaceous species. They contribute to pathogen defence but are toxic to humans and considered as anti-nutritional compounds.
