The associations of cholesterol metabolism and plasma plant sterols with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
Moderately elevated levels of plasma plant sterols have been suspected to be causally involved in atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether plant sterols and other markers of sterol metabolism predicted all-cause and ...

The Genetic Landscape of Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia in Greece

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
We investigated 112 Greek index‐cases with hereditary spastic paraplegia collected over > 25 years using NGS and MLPA. We identified a causative variant in 68 patients (60.7%), including 7 novel causative variants. This study presents a comprehensive overview of the phenotypic and genotypic spectrum of HSP in the Greek population.

Highly sensitive analysis of sterol profiles in human serum by LC-ESI-MS/MSs⃞

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
We have developed a highly sensitive and specific method for the analysis of serum sterol profiles. Sterols in 1 μl of dried serum were derivatized into picolinyl esters (3β-picolinate) and analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC ...

Case Report: Early Treatment With Chenodeoxycholic Acid in Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis Presenting as Neonatal Cholestasis

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2020
Background: Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is an inborn disorder of bile acid synthesis which causes progressive accumulation of toxic metabolites in various organs, particularly in brain and tendons.

Ypsiyunnosides A–E, Five New Cholestanol Glycosides from Ypsilandra yunnanensis [PDF]

Natural Products and Bioprospecting, 2016
Phytochemical investigation on the whole plants of Ypsilandra yunnanensis was carried out for the first time and led to the isolation of five new cholestanol glycosides, ypsiyunnosides A-E (1-5), and one known analogue. Their structures were determined mainly by detailed spectroscopic analysis, including extensive 1D and 2D NMR, MS and UV, as well as ...

High cholesterol absorption efficiency interferes with bile acid metabolism and cholesterol elimination from the body

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Elevated low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol causes atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Variables of whole‐body cholesterol metabolism, for example, high cholesterol absorption efficiency, might also be atherogenic, whereas the role of bile acids is controversial.

Analysis of phytosterols in foods [PDF]

, 2006
Phytosterols are bioactive compounds, one of their most studied and outstanding properties being their cholesterol-lowering activity. This explains the growing interest in the phytosterol contents of foods as either intrinsic or added components.
