What dictates the accumulation of desmosterol in the developing brain? [PDF]

The FASEB Journal, 2012
The brain is the most cholesterol‐enriched tissue in the body. During brain development, desmosterol, an immediate precursor of cholesterol, transiently accumulates up to 30% of total brain sterols. This massive desmosterol deposition appears to be present in all mammalian species reported so far, including humans, but how it is ...

Bazedoxifene and Beyond: Identifying This SERM’s Targets and Deciphering Its Molecular Mechanisms

Advances in Pharmacological and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Bazedoxifene (BZA), a third‐generation selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) approved for osteoporosis treatment, is attracting attention for drug repurposing, especially in cancer research. While designed primarily for estrogen receptors, BZA exhibits in vitro off‐target interactions that may explain novel therapeutic benefits or account for ...

Novel ABCG5 and ABCG8 Variants in Sitosterolemia: Insights Into Haemolysis, Calcium Dysregulation and Therapeutic Challenges

Human Mutation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Sitosterolemia is a rare autosomal recessive lipid metabolic disorder caused by mutations in ABCG5 or ABCG8, leading to pathological accumulation of dietary plant sterols. The condition is clinically heterogeneous, presenting with xanthomas, premature atherosclerosis and haematological abnormalities such as stomatocytosis, haemolytic anaemia and ...

Sterol composition of shellfish species commonly consumed in the United States

Food & Nutrition Research, 2012
Background: Shellfish can be a component of a healthy diet due to a low fat and high protein content, but the cholesterol content of some species is often cited as a reason to limit their consumption. Data on levels of non-cholesterol sterols in commonly
