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 ...

Towards an integrated molecular understanding of plant hormones

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review offers a comprehensive overview of the nine plant hormones, delving into their biosynthesis, transport, signaling and crosstalk mechanisms. Because the complexity of plant hormonal control goes beyond these core elements, additional specific features are discussed. Lastly, this review highlights how fundamental insights drive hormonal‐based

Serum plant sterols and biliary cholesterol secretion in humans

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
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.

High cholesterol absorption efficiency enhances proatherogenic properties of low‐density lipoprotein particles

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 299, Issue 6, Page 711-725, June 2026.
Abstract Background and Aims High cholesterol absorption efficiency is determined by genetic variation in small intestinal sterol transporters and affects one‐third of individuals. Their risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is increased compared with low cholesterol absorbers, despite similar serum lipid concentrations.

A sterol panel for rare lipid disorders: sitosterolemia, cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis and Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome

Journal of Lipid Research
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.

High dietary intake of phytosterol esters decreases carotenoids and increases plasma plant sterol levels with no additional cholesterol lowering

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
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 ...

The Plasma Distribution of Non-cholesterol Sterol Precursors and Products of Cholesterol Synthesis and Phytosterols Depend on HDL Concentration

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022
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

Extraction of Phospholipids From Crude Rapeseed Oil by n‐Hexane/Alcohol System: Effects of Solvent Composition on Extraction Performance and Oil Quality

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Integrated analysis of extraction performance, phospholipid composition, oil quality, and multivariate relationships in green phospholipid recovery from crude rapeseed oil. ABSTRACT Rapeseed oil contains endogenous phospholipids (PLs) and other minor bioactive components, but conventional PL extraction methods commonly rely on chloroform‐based solvent ...

The role of soluble fiber intake in patients under highly effective lipid-lowering therapy

Nutrition Journal, 2011
Background It has been demonstrated that statins can increase intestinal sterol absorption. Augments in phytosterolemia seems related to cardiovascular disease.
