Plant sterols: factors affecting their efficacy and safety as functional food ingredients

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2004
Plant sterols are naturally occurring molecules that humanity has evolved with. Herein, we have critically evaluated recent literature pertaining to the myriad of factors affecting efficacy and safety of plant sterols in free and esterified forms.

Heritability of plasma noncholesterol sterols and relationship to DNA sequence polymorphism in ABCG5 and ABCG8

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
The plasma concentrations of cholesterol precursor sterols and plant sterols vary over a 5- to 10-fold range among normolipidemic individuals, and provide indices of the relative rates of cholesterol synthesis and fractional absorption.

Chromosomal location of a gene that controls sterol esterification in Triticum aestivum L. [PDF]

, 1974
A previously described D genome locus (Pln) that controls sterol esterification in the wheat kernel has been assigned to the short arm of chromosome 7 D by comparison of the steryl ester phenotype of euploid kernels of Triticum aestivum variety Chinese ...

Accumulation of cholesterol precursors and plant sterols in human stenotic aortic valves

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
The pathogenesis of aortic valve stenosis (AS) is characterized by the accumulation of LDL-derived cholesterol in the diseased valves. Since LDL particles also contain plant sterols, we investigated whether plant sterols accumulate in aortic valve ...

Feedback regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis in rhesus monkeys with variable hypercholesterolemic response to dietary cholesterol1

Journal of Lipid Research, 1981
To test the hypothesis that high-responding rhesus monkeys should have a greater degree of feedback inhibition of hepatic cholesterol biosynthesis than the low-responding monkeys because the former group absorbs a higher percentage of cholesterol than ...

Callose homeostasis at plasmodesmata: molecular regulators and developmental relevance [PDF]

, 2014
Plasmodesmata are membrane-lined channels that are located in the plant cell wall and that physically interconnect the cytoplasm and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of adjacent cells.

Lethal atherosclerosis associated with abnormal plasma and tissue sterol composition in sitosterolemia with xanthomatosis.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1985
Tissue sterol composition was determined in an 18-year-old male with sitosterolemia with xanthomatosis who died suddenly and whose coronary and aortic vessels showed extensive atherosclerosis and, for comparison, in an 18-year-old male with minimal ...

Data on structural analysis of cholesterol binding and sterol selectivity by ABCG5/G8

Data in Brief, 2022
ATP-Binding cassette subfamily G (ABCG) sterol transporters maintain whole body endogenous and exogenous sterol homeostasis. A substantial portion of exogenous sterols are undigestible phytosterols (plant sterols), which can introduce complications when ...

Germination: a means to improve the functionality of oat [PDF]

, 2004
The biochemical and physiological reactions of germination have long been utilised to produce barley malt for brewing and other purposes. Also some oat malt has been produced as raw-material of ale and stout production.

Fate of intravenously administered squalene and plant sterols in human subjects

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
We have studied metabolism of plant sterols and squalene administered intravenously in the form of lipid emulsion mimicking chylomicrons (CM). The CM-like lipid emulsion was prepared by dissolving squalene in commercially available Intralipid®.
