Serum squalene and noncholesterol sterols before and after delivery in normal and cholestatic pregnancy

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1996
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 ...

Impacts of Vincristine and Prednisolone Chemotherapy on the Canine Gut Microbiota in Dogs Undergoing Treatment for Lymphoma

open access: yesVeterinary and Comparative Oncology, Volume 23, Issue 3, Page 388-400, September 2025.
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.

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Age-dependent Increase in Desmosterol Restores DRM Formation and Membrane-related Functions in Cholesterol-free DHCR24−/− Mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
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.

Biosynthesis of Δ7-cholesten-3Β-ol, Δ5,7-cholestadien-3Β-ol, and Δ5-cholesten-3Β-ol by guinea pig intestinal mucosa in vitro

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1966
Methods were developed for the separation and determination of the various 27-carbon sterols of intestinal mucosa by means of thin-layer chromatography.

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

open access: yesJournal 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]

open access: yes, 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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Fasting reduces plasma proprotein convertase, subtilisin/kexin type 9 and cholesterol biosynthesis in humans

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2010
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]

open access: yes, 2010
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.
