Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...

Serum plant sterols and biliary cholesterol secretion in humans
Ratios of cholestanol, campesterol, and sitosterol to cholesterol in serum are known to reflect cholesterol absorption efficiency. Here, a possible link between these ratios and biliary secretion rates of cholesterol was investigated.

Metabolomics of dietary fatty acid restriction in patients with phenylketonuria [PDF]
Patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) have to follow a lifelong phenylalanine restricted diet. This type of diet markedly reduces the intake of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids especially long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA).

Risk of cardiovascular disease is increased in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Cholesterol metabolism (hepatic synthesis and intestinal absorption) is known to be associated with cardiovascular risk. Next, we examined the association of DM with cholesterol absorption/synthesis.The CACHE Consortium, which is comprised of 13 research groups in ...

The disruption of a cluster of three snoRNAs in the epithelium of the gut deregulates the lipid and sterol (including the cholesterol) homeostasis. At the whole‐organism level, this chronic deregulation, all along life, decreases lifespan and leads to neurodegenerative lesions in old flies.

The objective of this study was to measure the effects on serum lipids and plasma phytosterols of 6.6 g/day phytosterols from three foods (bread, breakfast cereal, and spread) consumed for 12 weeks compared with a diet that was not enriched with ...

Non-cholesterol sterols are transported in plasma lipoproteins and are consequently important in cholesterol metabolism. We investigated the distribution of non-cholesterol sterol precursors of cholesterol synthesis (NCSPCS), oxysterols, and phytosterols

Dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction and injection-port derivatization for the determination of free lipophilic compounds in fruit juices by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry [PDF]
A method consisting of dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) followed by injection-port derivatization and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) for the analysis of free lipophilic compounds in fruit juices is described.

ABSTRACT This study evaluated the cardioprotective potential of Vitex simplicifolia methanol extract (VSME) and explored its underlying mechanisms of action. Twenty‐five male rats were assigned to five groups (n = 5). Group 1 served as the normal control, while groups 2–5 were exposed to 5 mg/kg body weight of cadmium chloride (CdCl2) daily.

Disease-specific sterols accumulate in the blood of patients with several rare lipid disorders. Biochemical measurement of these sterols is important for correct diagnosis and sometimes monitoring of treatment.
