Fine-mapping, mutation analyses, and structural mapping of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis in U.S. pedigrees

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2001
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of bile acid biosynthesis. Clinically, CTX patients present with tendon xanthomas, juvenile cataracts, and progressive neurological dysfunction and can be diagnosed by the ...

The association between low birth weight and high levels of cholesterol is not due to increased cholesterol synthesis or absorption: analysis in twins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Low birth weight may be associated with high levels of cholesterol in later life through genetic factors that affect both birth weight and cholesterol metabolism.

Besnoitia besnoiti infection alters both endogenous cholesterol de novo synthesis and exogenous LDL uptake in host endothelial cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Besnoitia besnoiti, an apicomplexan parasite of cattle being considered as emergent in Europe, replicates fast in host endothelial cells during acute infection and is in considerable need for energy, lipids and other building blocks for offspring ...

Case Report: Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis

open access: yesIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2009
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is a rare genetic disorder. We present and discuss the clinical, radiological, and histopathologic findings in a 36-year-old woman who had juvenile cataract, childhood diarrhea, mental retardation, cerebellar ataxia, and ...

Experimental Assessment of the Effects of Substrate Choice on the Duration of Chemical Signals in Fecal Scent‐Marks of Free‐Ranging Iberian Wolves

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication, typically based on feces, urine, and glandular secretions, often deposited as substrate scent marks, plays a key role in social organization and communication among many mammals, especially carnivores. This study assesses experimentally whether the type of substrate chosen for fecal deposition and the temperature ...

Separation of cholesterol from its companions, cholestanol and Δ7-choleatenol, by thin-layer chromatography

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1965
A two-step thin-layer chromatographic procedure is described for separation of cholesterol from its naturally occurring companions. Impregnation of Silica Gel G with silver nitrate retards cholesterol relative to cholestan-3Β-ol and Δ7-cholestenol, which

Mass spectrometric analysis of epimeric 3α/3β functionalized steroids. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) using an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) source in positive mode (+) reveals different intensity ratios of two fragment peaks of the epimeric cholestane derivatives synthesized from 3{460}- or 3β ...

From pollen provision to pollinator: Species‐specific sterol assimilation by wild bees in urban landscapes

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven landscape change, particularly urbanization, is reshaping pollinator communities, yet the functional traits that mediate species persistence remain poorly understood. Dietary specialization is commonly used to predict species vulnerability.

Insulin sensitivity regulates cholesterol metabolism to a greater extent than obesity: lessons from the METSIM Study1

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2010
Cholesterol synthesis is upregulated and absorption downregulated in insulin resistance and in type 2 dia-betes. We investigated whether alterations in cholesterol metabolism are observed across the glucose tolerance status, from normoglycemia through ...
