Case Report: Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis
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 ...

The ecdysteroidome of Drosophila: influence of diet and development [PDF]
Ecdysteroids are the hormones regulating development, physiology and fertility in arthropods, which synthesize them exclusively from dietary sterols. But how dietary sterol diversity influences the ecdysteroid profile, how animals ensure the production ...

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

Summary Plant lipid droplets (LDs) and their associated proteins have numerous subcellular and physiological functions. While considerable progress has been made for LDs in many tissues, the function and composition of LDs in roots remain largely unexplored.

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

Sterol concentration and distribution in sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus L.) during seed development [PDF]
Sunflower seeds are currently used for edible oil production. Among oil minor compounds, phytosterols are of special interest due to their cholesterol reducing properties.

Synthesis of conjugated cholesterol and cholestanols.
The glucuronides, sulfates, glucosides and N-acetylglucosaminides of cholesterol and epimeric 5α-cholestan-3-ols have been synthesized. The formation of a β-glucoside linkage was readily achieved by means of the Koenigs-Knorr reaction with the corresponding α-acetohalosugar, employing cadmium carbonate as a catalyst.

The Influence of Schwann Cell Metabolism and Dysfunction on Axon Maintenance
Main Points Sensory neurons depend on Schwann cells for survival. Schwann cells provide energy for axons dunng rapid firing or after injury. Dysregulated metabolism in Schwann cells can lead to the production of neurotoxic and axon degeneration. ABSTRACT Schwann cells are the glial cells in the peripheral nervous system responsible for the production ...

Serum plant sterols and biliary cholesterol secretion in humans
Ratios of cholestanol, campesterol, and sitosterol to cholesterol in serum are known to reflect cholesterol absorption efficiency. Here, a possible link between these ratios and biliary secretion rates of cholesterol was investigated.

Changes in the balance of cholesterol absorption and synthesis and moderately elevated plasma plant sterols have been suggested to be atherogenic. Measuring cholestanol, lathosterol, campesterol, and sitosterol, we investigated the relationships of ...
