Cholesterol metabolism in primary biliary cirrhosis during simvastatin and UDCA administration

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
Little is known about the effects of cholesterol-lowering agents in hypercholesterolemic patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). The aim of this study was to compare the changes induced by simvastatin and ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) on cholesterol

Serum 27-hydroxycholesterol in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis suggests alteration of cholesterol catabolism to bile acids via the acidic pathway

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
Reduced cholesterol synthesis has been reported in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis but no data are available on changes in cholesterol catabolism induced by the disease.

Fecal neutral steroids and bile acids from germfree rats

Journal of Lipid Research, 1969
The amount and composition of fecal neutral sterols and bile acids excreted by adult male germfree and conventional rats have been determined. The amounts of neutral sterols excreted were 12.8 (germfree) and 19.5 (conventional) mg/kg of body wt per day ...

Phytosterol plasma concentrations and coronary heart disease in the prospective Spanish EPIC cohort

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
Phytosterol intake with natural foods, a measure of healthy dietary choices, increases plasma levels, but increased plasma phytosterols are believed to be a coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factor.

Relationship between Diabetes Mellitus and Serum Lathosterol and Campesterol Levels: The CACHE Study DM Analysis

Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis, 2023
Risk of cardiovascular disease is increased in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Cholesterol metabolism (hepatic synthesis and intestinal absorption) is known to be associated with cardiovascular risk. Next, we examined the association of DM with cholesterol absorption/synthesis.The CACHE Consortium, which is comprised of 13 research groups in ...

Impact of simvastatin, niacin, and/or antioxidants on cholesterol metabolism in CAD patients with low HDL

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003
The HDL Atherosclerosis Treatment Study (HATS) demonstrated a clinical benefit in coronary artery disease patients with low HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) levels treated with simvastatin and niacin (S-N) or S-N plus antioxidants (S-N+A) compared with ...

From pollen provision to pollinator: Species‐specific sterol assimilation by wild bees in urban landscapes

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1906-1920, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven landscape change, particularly urbanization, is reshaping pollinator communities, yet the functional traits that mediate species persistence remain poorly understood. Dietary specialization is commonly used to predict species vulnerability.

Sterols in the small intestine of the rat, guinea pig, and rabbit

Journal of Lipid Research, 1971
The sterol content and composition of the small intestinal mucosa has been studied in the rat, guinea pig, and rabbit. In the three species, noncholesterol sterols formed a large proportion of the total sterol content. In the rat, the contribution due to

Targeting Brain Cholesterol Homeostasis in Alzheimer's Disease: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Perspectives

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 6, June 2026.
Brain cholesterol homeostasis is tightly regulated and largely independent of peripheral cholesterol. This review proposes a unifying framework in which aging, sex, and related biological stressors, including hypercholesterolemia, neurodegeneration, inflammation, and oxidative stress, converge to disrupt cholesterol homeostasis in the brain ...
