On the mechanism of accumulation of cholestanol in the brain of mice with a disruption of sterol 27-hydroxylase

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2010
The rare disease cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is due to a lack of sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) and is characterized by cholestanol-containing xanthomas in brain and tendons. Mice with the same defect do not develop xanthomas. The driving force

Experimental isovalthinuria. III. Induction by bile acids, and hypocholesterolemic agents [PDF]

open access: yes, 1963
Some bile acids (dehydrocholic, cholic, chenodeoxycholic, ursodeoxycholic, and deoxycholic acids), and some hypocholesterolemic agents (22, 25 diazacholestanol, 20,25-diazacholesterol, triparanol, and SKF 525-A) are the inducers of isovalthinuria in ...

Conversion of cholesterol injected into man to cholestanol via a 3-ketonic intermediate

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1967
Cholesterol-3-3H,4-14C was injected intravenously in man and its transformation to cholestanol was studied. From the 3H:14C ratios in cholestanol isolated from blood, evidence for the participation of a ketonic intermediate in the conversion was obtained.

Serum squalene and noncholesterol sterols before and after delivery in normal and cholestatic pregnancy

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1996
Mechanisms of hyperlipidemia were studied by measurement of serum lipid concentrations and the ratios of cholesterol precursors (squalene, delta 8-cholestenol, desmosterol, and lathosterol), plant sterols (campesterol and sitosterol), and cholestanol (a ...

Effects of genotype and sowing date on phytostanol-phytosterol content and agronomic traits in wheat under organic agriculture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Cereals are an important source of sterols and stanols in the human diet. The present study underlines the effect of genotype and weather conditions in bread wheat, on total sterol and stanol content (TSS), agronomic traits, proteins and ash content ...

Synthesis of 24-heteroatom-substituted cholestanols

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1988
Short syntheses of 24-thia-5 alpha,20 xi-cholestan-3 beta-ol, 24-methyl-24-aza-5 alpha,20 xi-cholestan-3 beta-ol, and 24-nor-5 alpha,20 xi-cholan-3 beta-ol from 3 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-pregnan-20-one are described. The products and synthetic intermediates have been fully characterized by the results of proton NMR, infrared, and high and low resolution ...
