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]
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
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.

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