Plant sterols in food: No consensus in guidelines
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2014Plant sterols are supplemented in foods to reduce cardiovascular risk. Randomized controlled trials show 2 g of plant sterols a day reduce serum cholesterol by about 10%. This reduction in serum cholesterol levels is achieved at the expense of increased serum plant sterol levels. Findings in patients with phytosterolemia, in experimental studies and in

Plant sterols and atherosclerosis
Current Opinion in Lipidology, 2013Plant sterols as ingredients to functional foods are recommended for lowering LDL cholesterol. However, there is an ongoing discussion whether the use of plant sterols is safe.Genetic analyses showed that common variants of the ATP binding cassette transporter G8 (ABCG8) and ABO genes are associated with elevated circulating plant sterols and higher ...

Metabolism of plant sterols by nematodes
Lipids, 1991AbstractParasitic nematodes do not biosynthesize sterolsde novo and therefore possess a nutritional requirement for sterol, which must be obtained from their hosts. Consequently, the metabolism of phytosterols by plant‐parasitic nematodes is an important process with potential for selective exploitation.

2005
The expanding market of 'functional foods' containing plant sterols and stanols has focused interest on their cholesterol-lowering effects as well on possible adverse effects. Trials of cholesterol lowering demonstrate that intake of 2 g/day of plant sterols and stanols reduces serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations by ...

Determination of Fecal Sterols Following a Diet with and without Plant Sterols
Lipids, 2017AbstractThe aim of this study was to develop a method for neutral fecal sterols determination in subjects receiving a normal diet with or without a plant sterols‐enriched beverage using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Sample preparation conditions (homogenization of lyophilized feces with water) were evaluated.

Sterols as regulators of plant embryogenesis
Trends in Plant Science, 2000suggests 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.

Dietary plant sterols accumulate in the brain
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2006Dietary plant sterols and cholesterol have a comparable chemical structure. It is generally assumed that cholesterol and plant sterols do not cross the blood-brain barrier, but quantitative data are lacking. Here, we report that mice deficient for ATP-binding cassette transporter G5 (Abcg5) or Abcg8, with strongly elevated serum plant sterol levels ...

Functions of sterols in plants
Lipids, 1971AbstractSterols 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.

Occurrence of plant sterols in aquatic vertebrates
Lipids, 1979AbstractPlant sterols were found by gas liquid chromatography in the sterols of five species of aquatic vertebrates; mackerel (Scomber japonicus), rainbow trout (Salmo gairdnerii), smelt (Osmerus dentex), sardine (Sardinops melanosticta) and chimera (Chimera phantasma).
