Lathosterol side chain amides—A new class of human lathosterol oxidase inhibitors

Steroids, 2008
Inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis offers the opportunity for treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Numerous enzymes are involved in the post-squalene part of this biosynthesis, and selective inhibitors for almost all of the enzymes involved there have been described in literature. The only exception is the enzyme lathosterol oxidase (EC 1.14.21.6),

Determination of changes in serum lathosterol during treatment with simvastatin to evaluate the role of lathosterol as a parameter for whole body cholesterol synthesis

Clinica Chimica Acta, 1993
Serum levels of cholesterol and the cholesterol precursor lathosterol were determined in five healthy volunteers who took 20 mg simvastatin daily during 1 week. During this period and for the following 5 days blood samples were collected. Five days after ingestion of simvastatin, serum lathosterol had already reached a steady-state level and its ...

Plasma Lathosterol and Campesterol in Detection of Ileal Dysfunction

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1988
Plasma lathosterol levels reflect cholesterol synthesis, especially that induced by bile acid malabsorption, whereas plasma plant sterol contents change in parallel with cholesterol and fat absorption. The significance of lathosterols and plant sterols (campesterol and sitosterol) was therefore studied in detection of ileal dysfunction in 29 patients ...

Serum plant sterols and lathosterol related to cholesterol absorption in coeliac disease

Clinica Chimica Acta, 1988
The concentrations of the plant sterols, campesterol and beta-sitosterol in serum, normally correlate with the efficiency of cholesterol absorption, whereas the concentration of lathosterol, a cholesterol precursor sterol, closely parallels changes in cholesterol synthesis.

Determination of serum levels of unesterified lathosterol by isotope dilution-mass spectrometry

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 1989
The synthesis of 2H3-labelled lathosterol is described. This compound was used together with 2H7-labelled cholesterol for simultaneous assay of unesterified lathosterol and cholesterol in serum by isotope dilution-mass spectrometry. After addition of a fixed amount of the two internal standards to a fixed amount of serum (in general 25 microliter), the

Biliary Lathosterol and Other Cholesterol Precursor Sterols Are Increased in Patients with Ileal Exclusion

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1988
The human bile contains several noncholesterol sterols, of which the cholesterol precursor sterols are quantitatively the most important. Detailed data on factors that regulate the amount of these sterols in the bile have not been available. In this study the effect of chronic stimulation of cholesterol synthesis on biliary cholesterol precursor sterol

Effects of dietary coconut oil, butter and safflower oil on plasma lipids, lipoproteins and lathosterol levels

European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1998
The aim of this present study was to determine plasma levels of lathosterol, lipids, lipoproteins and apolipoproteins during diets rich in butter, coconut fat and safflower oil.The study consisted of sequential six week periods of diets rich in butter, coconut fat then safflower oil and measurements were made at baseline and at week 4 in each diet ...

Simultaneous determination of serum lathosterol and cholesterol by semi-micro high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection

Journal of Chromatography B: Analytical Technologies in the Biomedical and Life Sciences, 2011
A simple method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of lathosterol and cholesterol by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD). Lathosterol was found to be electrochemically oxidized and its current peak height was linearly related to the amount of lathosterol injected, ranging from 0.15 μmol/L ...

Lophenol and lathosterol from resin of Commiphora kua possess hepatoprotective effects in vivo

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2020
Drug induced liver damage remains a prevalent concern in healthcare and may reduce the effectiveness of therapy by compromising therapeutic regimens. Many Commiphora species are known for their medicinal properties, and some of them are used traditionally for hepatoprotective effect.
