[Plant sterols and stanols].

Therapeutische Umschau. Revue therapeutique, 2007
Plant sterols and stanols are similar in chemical structure to cholesterol, differing in their side chain configuration. The mechanism by which they lower cholesterol is thought to involve inhibition of cholesterol absorption. A number of products containing plant sterols are now available.

Sterols as regulators of plant embryogenesis

Trends in Plant Science, 2000
suggests that the two genes function like their yeast homologs. The sterol biosynthetic pathway consists of a common upstream series of events followed by a downstream branch forming a BRspecific pathway. SMTs and C-14 sterol reductases are thought to catalyze reactions within the common part of the pathway.

Plant Sterols in Soybean Hulls

Journal of Food Science, 1990
ABSTRACT Using gas chromatography techniques after lipid extraction, soybean hulls were analyzed for their plant sterol components. Soybean hulls contained 7.46% and 2.02% moisture and lipid components, respectively. Three plant sterols, campestrol, stigmasterol, and β‐sitosterol, were quantified in the ratios of 1: 1.5: 2. The use of

Functions of sterols in plants

Lipids, 1971
AbstractSterols have at least three functions in animals: they may act as precursors of other steroids, as hormones and as membrane components. The author advances the hypothesis that sterols have similar functions in plants.

The Biochemistry of Plant Sterols

1977
Publisher Summary Plants are a diverse group of organisms that differ from animals by not possessing a nervous system. They can be grouped into two great categories: those with and those without photosynthetic capacity. The photosynthetic group is comprised by four subgroups: the autotrophic bacteria; the algae, including the phytoflagellates, which ...

The Biosynthesis of Plant Sterols

1977
The great variety of plant sterols and related compounds have for many years been a source of interest to natural products chemists because of the challenges they have offered in structural determination and development of analytical techniques. Interest in the biosynthesis of animal sterols spans the past thirty years, but plant sterol biosynthesis ...

Multiple Roles for Plant Sterols

1987
In certain ways all sterols are the same, yet in other respects they are quite different. To some extent we understand the reason for the similarities in that sterols must “fit” into the phospholipid leaflet which comprises the monolayer component of the common bilayer arrangement of natural membranes1.
