Metabolism of lathosterol byDrosophila pachea

Lipids, 1971
AbstractDrosophila pachea is a Sonoran Desert cactiphilic species unable to utilize cholesterol or cholestanol for larval growth and maturation. Lathosterol (7‐cholesten‐3β‐ol) was added to a sterol deficient medium on which an axenic culture ofD. pachea was maintained.

High levels of plant sterols and cholesterol precursors in cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1991
We measured the cholestanol, cholesterol precursor (lathosterol), and plant sterol (campesterol and sitosterol) concentrations of serum and bile in 11 patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis.

The association between low birth weight and high levels of cholesterol is not due to increased cholesterol synthesis or absorption: analysis in twins [PDF]

, 2002
Low birth weight may be associated with high levels of cholesterol in later life through genetic factors that affect both birth weight and cholesterol metabolism.

Defective conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to cholesterol in cultured skin fibroblasts from Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome homozygotes

Journal of Lipid Research, 1995
The Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome is a common birth defect syndrome characterized biochemically by low plasma cholesterol levels and high concentrations of the cholesterol precursor 7-dehydrocholesterol.

Sialic acid content of low density lipoprotein and its relation to lipid concentrations and metabolism of low density lipoprotein and cholesterol

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
A low sialic acid content in low density lipoprotein (LDL) has been associated with atherogenicity and coronary artery disease (CAD) in many but not all studies. We investigated associations of the sialic acid-to-apolipoprotein B (apoB) ratio of LDL with

Long-term effects of sterol depletion in C. elegans

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
Three major long-term effects of sterol deprivation in Caenorhabditis elegans are described. 1) The life expectancy of sterol-deprived wild-type animals is decreased by more than 40%. Similar decreases are found in animals carrying mutations in the daf-9,

Cholesterol absorption and synthesis markers in individuals with and without a CHD event during pravastatin therapy: insights from the PROSPER trial

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
Cholesterol homeostasis, defined as the balance between absorption and synthesis, influences circulating cholesterol concentrations and subsequent coronary heart disease (CHD) risk.
