Impact of simvastatin, niacin, and/or antioxidants on cholesterol metabolism in CAD patients with low HDL

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003
The HDL Atherosclerosis Treatment Study (HATS) demonstrated a clinical benefit in coronary artery disease patients with low HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) levels treated with simvastatin and niacin (S-N) or S-N plus antioxidants (S-N+A) compared with ...

Preferential campesterol incorporation into various tissues in apolipoprotein E*3-Leiden mice consuming plant sterols or stanols

, 2008
Intestinal absorption of plant sterols and stanols is much lower as compared with that of cholesterol; and therefore, serum concentrations are low. Circulating plant sterols and stanols are incorporated into tissues.

Comparative Profiles of Lipophilic Nutrients and In Vitro Antioxidant Activity in Commercial Arabica and Robusta Green Coffee Beans

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
Integrated compositional profiling of ten commercial green coffee lots showed higher mean total phenolic content, DPPH radical‐scavenging activity, β‐carotene, and total phytosterols in Robusta‐labeled lots, whereas Arabica‐labeled lots showed higher mean total tocopherols and total measured fatty acids.

Influence of Direct Saponification Conditions on Sterol Yield and Composition of the Unsaponifiable Fraction of the Microalga Isochrysis galbana and the Seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Saponification is a key step for recovering the unsaponifiable fraction (USF) of lipids, which contains bioactive sterols, tocopherols, and carotenoids. This study optimized direct saponification conditions (50–300 g L−1 KOH; 60°C–100°C) to recover sterol‐rich USFs from the microalga Isochrysis galbana and the brown seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum,

Mango Seed Valorization: Sustainable Source of Nutrients, Bioactives, and Value‐Added Applications

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Highlighting mango seed as a valuable yet overlooked by‐product, promoting its utilization and reducing agroindustrial waste. ABSTRACT Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the most widely cultivated tropical fruits, generating large quantities of by‐products during processing, with mango seed representing 20%–25% of the whole fruit weight ...

EFFECT OF SOLVENT THE SELECTIVE SEPARATION OF PHYTOSTEROLS USING ZEOLITE

Reaktor, 2006
The effect of organic solvent on zeolite adsorption of sterols mixiture containing almost the same percentage of campesterol and B-sitosterol was investigated. Although pentane was found to give the highest adsorption rate than other solvents, but it was

Physicochemical, Functional, and Health‐Promoting Properties of Processed Nettle (Urtica Dioica) Leaves: A Review

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica L.) leaves are a nutrient‐dense source of proteins, dietary fiber, chlorophylls, carotenoids, and phenolic compounds. Processing technologies enable the production of powders and extracts for incorporation into bakery, beverage, dairy, and nutraceutical products; however, challenges remain regarding sensory quality ...

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,

Effects of diet and metamorphosis upon the sterol composition of the butterfly Morpho peleides

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
Whole body sterol metabolism in insects has seldom been studied. We were able to design an appropriate study at a butterfly farm in Belize. We collected six larvas of butterfly (Morpho peleides), their food (leaves of Pterocarpus bayessii), and their ...
