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 ...

Suitability of Phytosterols Alongside Fatty Acids as Chemotaxonomic Biomarkers for Phytoplankton [PDF]

, 2016
The composition and abundance of phytoplankton is an important factor defining ecological status of marine and freshwater ecosystems. Chemotaxonomic markers (e.g., pigments and fatty acids) are needed for monitoring changes in a phytoplankton community ...

Anti‐Inflammatory, Antioxidant, Molecular Docking and Pharmacokinetics Properties of Cycloeucalenone Isolated From Musa × paradisiaca L. Fruit Peels

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This study isolated a compound with anti‐inflammatory properties from Musa × paradisiaca fruit peels. The methanol extract was partitioned, and the hexane fraction with the best bioactivity was subjected to column chromatography before characterization via Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), UV–visible (UV–VIS) and NMR analysis.

Campesterol and β-Sitosterol Content of Some Vegetable Oils

Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL, 1972
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

Journal of Lipid Research, 1976
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 ...

Cholesteryl Fatty Acid Esters and Free Cholesterol in Food of Animal Origin

European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, Volume 128, Issue 1, January 2026.
Cholesterol occurs in free (bioavailable) and esterified (transport/storage) forms. Here, we present a method that allows both forms to be determined independently. Finally, the quantities of free and esterified cholesterol were determined in several meat, animal fat, and cheese samples.
