The relationships of markers of cholesterol homeostasis with carotid intima-media thickness.
PLoS ONE, 2010 BackgroundThe relationship of cholesterol homeostasis and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) is unknown. To address this, we assessed markers of cholesterol homeostasis (serum plant sterols and cholesterol precursor concentrations as surrogate ...

Profile of cholesterol-related sterols in aged amyloid precursor protein transgenic mouse brain
Journal of Lipid Research, 2002 Cholesterol is implicated to play a role in Alzheimer disease pathology. Therefore, the concentrations of cholesterol, its precursors, and its degradation products in brain homogenates of aging wild-type and β-amyloid precursor protein transgenic mice ...

Effects of vitamin D on serum lipid profile in patients with type 2 diabetes: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials [PDF]
, 2016 Background & aims The effect of vitamin D on lipid profile in type 2 diabetic patients is controversial. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the effect of vitamin D on serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and ...

Accumulation of cholesterol precursors and plant sterols in human stenotic aortic valves
Journal of Lipid Research, 2008 The pathogenesis of aortic valve stenosis (AS) is characterized by the accumulation of LDL-derived cholesterol in the diseased valves. Since LDL particles also contain plant sterols, we investigated whether plant sterols accumulate in aortic valve ...

Vitamin D in plants: a review of occurrence, analysis, and biosynthesis. [PDF]
, 2013 The major function of vitamin D in vertebrates is maintenance of calcium homeostasis, but vitamin D insufficiency has also been linked to an increased risk of hypertension, autoimmune diseases, diabetes and cancer. Therefore, there is a growing awareness

Phytosterolemia on the island of Kosrae
Journal of Lipid Research, 2004 Screening of 932 adults on the Pacific island of Kosrae for plasma plant sterol levels disclosed three subjects, two of them asymptomatic, with phytosterolemia. Sequencing the ATP binding cassette subfamily G member 8 (ABCG8) gene revealed a novel exon 2
