Effects of diet and metamorphosis upon the sterol composition of the butterfly Morpho peleides

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
Whole body sterol metabolism in insects has seldom been studied. We were able to design an appropriate study at a butterfly farm in Belize. We collected six larvas of butterfly (Morpho peleides), their food (leaves of Pterocarpus bayessii), and their ...

Transcriptomic Profiling of SLC and ABC Transporters in the Human Term Placenta

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Solute carriers (SLC) and ATP‐binding cassette (ABC) transporters are essential for placental solute exchange and fetal protection, yet their transcriptomic profiles in the human placenta remain poorly characterized. Although fetal sex influences placental development and function, its impact on transporter expression is unclear.

[Presence of plant sterols in the diet and the hypocholesterolemic effects of plant sterols].

Tidsskrift for den Norske laegeforening : tidsskrift for praktisk medicin, ny raekke, 2000
A high intake of fat, and in particular saturated fat, is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease. Reduced intake of spreads had therefore generally been recommended. A special type of "heart-friendly" margarine, a plant sterol enriched margarine, has been a commercial success since it was introduced in 1995.

Effect of plant sterol‐enriched margarine on plasma lipids and sterols in subjects heterozygous for phytosterolaemia

, 2001
OBJECTIVE: Margarine with added plant sterols lowers plasma cholesterol levels. It is of importance to know whether these margarines can be used safely in carriers of a hereditary disorder with increased absorption of plant sterols.

Membrane lipid metabolism as a regulatory frontier in neural crest biology: Roles for sphingolipids, cholesterol, and lipid rafts

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are multipotent, migratory stem‐like cells essential for vertebrate development that contribute broadly to many tissues including the craniofacial skeleton, peripheral nervous system, and pigment‐producing cells. Their development progresses through phases of induction, specification, delamination, migration, and ...

Altered gene expression in the liver and small intestine of horses with equine neuroaxonal dystrophy

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Equine neuroaxonal dystrophy/degenerative myeloencephalopathy (eNAD/EDM) is the second most common diagnosis of spinal ataxia in horses in the United States. The disease develops due to a combination of vitamin E deficiency and an unknown genetic risk factor(s), and there currently is no effective treatment.

A sterol panel for rare lipid disorders: sitosterolemia, cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis and Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome

Journal of Lipid Research
Disease-specific sterols accumulate in the blood of patients with several rare lipid disorders. Biochemical measurement of these sterols is important for correct diagnosis and sometimes monitoring of treatment.

Genomic Influence in the Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases with a Sterol-Based Treatment

Diseases, 2018
Raised serum cholesterol concentration is a well-established risk factor in cardiovascular disease. In addition, genetic load may have an indirect influence on cardiovascular risk.

Quality of deli-style turkey enriched with plant sterols

Low-fat meat products could be excellent carriers for plant sterols, known for their cholesterol-lowering properties. In this study, we developed a protocol for the manufacture of a deli-style turkey enriched with plant sterols (S) at a level sufficient ...
