Dietary intake of plant sterols stably increases plant sterol levels in the murine brain [PDF]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2012 Plant sterols such as sitosterol and campesterol are frequently administered as cholesterol-lowering supplements in food. Recently, it has been shown in mice that, in contrast to the structurally related cholesterol, circulating plant sterols can enter ...

Plant Sterols, Stanols, and Sitosterolemia [PDF]
Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL, 2015 Abstract Phytosterolemia (sitosterolemia) is a rare autosomal recessive sterol storage disease caused by mutations in either of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding cassette transporter genes; (ABC) G5 or ABCG8, leading to impaired elimination of plant sterols and stanols, with their increased accumulation in the blood and tissues ...

The absorption of plant sterols by the fowl [PDF]
British Journal of Nutrition, 1966 1. A gas-liquid chromatographic method for the detection of phytosterols in tissues and excreta of birds was developed. The limitations of this method are discussed. 2. β- and γ-Sitosterol werc detected in the plasma of adult cockerels and in the plasma, intestinal wall, and liver of 4-week-old cockerels.

Plant phloem sterol content: forms, putative functions, and implications for phloem-feeding insects
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 All eukaryotes contain sterols, which serve as structural components in cell membranes, and as precursors for important hormones. Plant vegetative tissues are known to contain mixtures of sterols, but very little is known about the sterol composition of ...
