Changes in the balance of cholesterol absorption and synthesis and moderately elevated plasma plant sterols have been suggested to be atherogenic. Measuring cholestanol, lathosterol, campesterol, and sitosterol, we investigated the relationships of ...

Chemical constituents and antimicrobial activity of extracts from Dilodendron bipinnatum (sapindaceae) [PDF]
The phytochemical investigation of ethanolic extracts from leaves, branches and stems of D. bipinnatum afforded the steroids β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol, sitostenone and sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glycopyranoside, along with two cycloartane

Abstract This research describes the engineering of chitosan nanoparticles (CS NPs) via ionic gelation to encapsulate Ajwah seed extract (ASE), repurposing a plant waste product for its documented antioxidant and anticancer potential. Physicochemical analysis confirmed the formation of stable nanoparticles with hydrodynamic diameters between 152.3 and ...

Plasma plant sterols serve as poor markers of cholesterol absorption in man[S]
The validation of the use of plasma plant sterols as a marker of cholesterol absorption is frail. Nevertheless, plant sterol concentrations are routinely used to describe treatment-induced changes in cholesterol absorption.

The incorporation of alpha-tocopherol and functional doses of phytosterol esters during cheesemaking does not affect DNA or mRNA dynamics of Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactococcus lactis throughout and after the end of ripening [PDF]
Tocopherols and phytosterols are lipid-soluble molecules which have been widely used in the food industry. Nevertheless, the influence of these compounds on the performance of starter lactic acid bacteria (SLAB) in fermented foods has received little ...

Campesterol and β-Sitosterol Content of Some Vegetable Oils
Abstract The free and total campesterol and β-sitosterol content of 48 samples of crude and refined corn, cottonseed, soybean, and peanut oils are reported. The results show that the ratio of β-sitosterol to campesterol may be used to identify an individual oil and tend to confirm that sterols are lost during refining of the crude oils ...

Side chain hydroxylation of cholesterol, campesterol and β-sitosterol in rat liver mitochondria
The extent of the side chain hydroxylation of cholesterol, campesterol (24 alpha-methylcholesterol), and beta-sitosterol (24 alpha-ethylcholesterol) in rat liver mitochondria has been compared. Two beta-sitosterol metabolites, tentatively identified by liquid chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, gas-liquid chromatography, combined with ...

ABCG5 and ABCG8 require MDR2 for secretion of cholesterol into bile
The major pathway for the removal of cholesterol from the body is via secretion into the bile. Three members of the ATP binding cassette (ABC) family, ABCG5 (G5), ABCG8 (G8), and ABCB4 (MDR2), are required for the efficient biliary export of sterols ...
