Mechanisms of hyperlipidemia were studied by measurement of serum lipid concentrations and the ratios of cholesterol precursors (squalene, delta 8-cholestenol, desmosterol, and lathosterol), plant sterols (campesterol and sitosterol), and cholestanol (a ...

ABSTRACT Chemotherapy can have adverse gastrointestinal effects in dogs and people. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of vincristine and prednisolone/prednisone, as part of a CHOP chemotherapy [cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin, oncovin (vincristine) and prednisolone/prednisone] protocol, on gastrointestinal dysbiosis in dogs ...

The relationships of markers of cholesterol homeostasis with carotid intima-media thickness.
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 ...

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Age-dependent Increase in Desmosterol Restores DRM Formation and Membrane-related Functions in Cholesterol-free DHCR24−/− Mice [PDF]
Cholesterol is a prominent modulator of the integrity and functional activity of physiological membranes and the most abundant sterol in the mammalian brain. DHCR24-knock-out mice lack cholesterol and accumulate desmosterol with age.

Profile of cholesterol-related sterols in aged amyloid precursor protein transgenic mouse brain
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]
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
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 ...

Proprotein convertase, subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), a key regulator of plasma LDL-cholesterol (LDL-c) and cardiovascular risk, is produced in liver and secreted into plasma where it binds hepatic LDL receptors (LDLR), leading to their degradation ...

A detailed genome-wide reconstruction of mouse metabolism based on human Recon 1 [PDF]
Background Well-curated and validated network reconstructions are extremely valuable tools in systems biology. Detailed metabolic reconstructions of mammals have recently emerged, including human reconstructions.
