Dietary Plant Sterols Accumulate in the Brain
Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2006 Dietary 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 ...

Cholesterol-Lowering Effect of Plant Sterols
Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2008Plant sterols are plant components that have a chemical structure similar to cholesterol except for the addition of an extra methyl or ethyl group; however, plant sterol absorption in humans is considerably less than that of cholesterol. In fact, plant sterols reduce cholesterol absorption and thus reduce circulating levels of cholesterol.

Plant Sterols: Diversity, Biosynthesis, and Physiological Functions [PDF]
Biochemistry (Moscow), 2016 © 2016, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.Sterols, which are isoprenoid derivatives, are structural components of biological membranes. Special attention is now being given not only to their structure and function, but also to their regulatory roles in plants ...

Plant Sterols and Plant Stanols in the Management of Dyslipidaemia and Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease [PDF]
Atherosclerosis, 2014 OBJECTIVE This EAS Consensus Panel critically appraised evidence relevant to the benefit to risk relationship of functional foods with added plant sterols and/or plant stanols, as components of a healthy lifestyle, to reduce plasma low-density ...

Plant Sterols in Vegetables, Fruits and Berries
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2003 The plant sterol contents of the most important vegetables, fruits and berries available in Finland were determined by capillary gas chromatography. The sample preparation procedure included both acid and alkaline hydrolysis to liberate sterols from ...

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.

Plasma Concentrations of Plant Sterols: Physiology and Relationship With Coronary Heart Disease.
Nutrition Reviews, 2006 Recently, it has been questioned whether elevated levels of circulating plant sterols increase the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). To date, no definitive conclusions regarding such a relationship have been reached, nor have there been any studies ...
