The relationships of cholesterol metabolism and plasma plant sterols with the severity of coronary artery disease1s⃞

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
Changes in the balance of cholesterol absorption and synthesis and moderately elevated plasma plant sterols have been suggested to be atherogenic. Measuring cholestanol, lathosterol, campesterol, and sitosterol, we investigated the relationships of ...

Review Article: Targeting Peroxisome Proliferator‐Activated Receptors in Primary Biliary Cholangitis

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 63, Issue 9, Page 1215-1235, May 2026.
Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor (PPAR) agonists have emerged as important second‐line treatments in primary biliary cholangitis, with profiles influenced by different selectivity for α‐, δ‐ and γ‐isoforms. PPAR‐α and PPAR‐δ agonism improve cholestasis, with inflammation reduced via all isoforms. PPAR‐δ agonism also reduces pruritus.

Use of determinations of 7-lathosterol (5 alpha-cholest-7-en-3 beta-ol) and other cholesterol precursors in serum in the study and treatment of disturbances of sterol metabolism, particularly cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis

Journal of Lipid Research, 1991
The sterol composition of sera from patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) was investigated by gas chromatographic analysis of saponified extracts, using a polar (CP Wax 52CB) and an apolar (CP Sil 5CB) capillary column.

High cholesterol absorption efficiency interferes with bile acid metabolism and cholesterol elimination from the body

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 299, Issue 5, Page 628-638, May 2026.
Abstract Background Elevated low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol causes atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Variables of whole‐body cholesterol metabolism, for example, high cholesterol absorption efficiency, might also be atherogenic, whereas the role of bile acids is controversial.

The lipid-lowering effect of ezetimibe in pure vegetarians

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
Results of previous studies have shown that ezetimibe (10 mg/day) reduces LDL cholesterol in patients with mild hypercholesterolemia on a normal-cholesterol diet (dietary intake of 200–500 mg/day) by 16–22%.

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 970-1002, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...

Effects of different doses of atorvastatin on human apolipoprotein B-100, B-48, and A-I metabolism

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007
Nine hypercholesterolemic and hypertriglyceridemic subjects were enrolled in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover study to test the effect of atorvastatin 20 mg/day and 80 mg/day on the kinetics of apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100) in ...

Insulin sensitivity regulates cholesterol metabolism to a greater extent than obesity: lessons from the METSIM Study1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
Cholesterol synthesis is upregulated and absorption downregulated in insulin resistance and in type 2 dia-betes. We investigated whether alterations in cholesterol metabolism are observed across the glucose tolerance status, from normoglycemia through ...

Reprogramming SREBP1‐dependent lipogenesis and inflammation in high‐risk breast with licochalcone A: A novel path to cancer prevention

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 7, Page 1927-1940, 1 April 2026.
What's new? Endocrine drugs repurposed from treatment protocols are the primary medications available for breast cancer (BC) prevention in at‐risk women. Adverse effects, however, significantly minimize uptake and prevention impact. Here, the authors investigated licochalcone A (LicA), a non‐endocrine anti‐inflammatory agent with reported hematologic ...
