Economic valuation of the potential health benefits from foods enriched with plant sterols in Canada

Food & Nutrition Research, 2010
Background: Increased consumption of foods containing plant sterols has the potential to reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) and thus reduce costs associated with treating that disease in a significant way. This paper reports the results

Sterol content in sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus L.) as affected by genotypes and environmental conditions [PDF]

, 2010
Phytosterols play essential roles in many plant cell mechanisms. They are of industrial interest since, as part of the diet, they can reduce Low Density Lipoprotein cholesterol.

Validation of an LC-MS/MS method for the quantitation of phytosterols derived from Aloe vera gel

MethodsX, 2022
A method to quantitate five minor phytosterols named Aloe sterols identified from Aloe vera gel was validated using AVGP (Aloe vera gel powder) as the sample. To measure the Aloe sterols content, AVGP was extracted with chloroform/methanol (2:1, v/v) and

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.

Determination of Plant Sterol Oxidation Products in Plant Sterol Enriched Spreads, Fat Blends, and Plant Sterol Concentrates [PDF]

Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL, 2004
Abstract Plant sterols (PS) are very stable molecules but may undergo oxidation due to the presence of a double bond in the ring structure. In order to assess whether this occurs during heating and storage, an analytical procedure was developed for the determination of concentration levels and identity of PS oxidation products in ...

Sterol concentration and distribution in sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus L.) during seed development [PDF]

, 2010
Sunflower seeds are currently used for edible oil production. Among oil minor compounds, phytosterols are of special interest due to their cholesterol reducing properties.

Plant sterol metabolism with emphasis on glycoalkaloid biosynthesis in potato [PDF]

, 2007
Glycoalkaloids are secondary metabolites present within species of the family Solanaceae. They are toxic to humans and animals, and it is important to keep the levels in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers below the safe limit for consumption ...

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 ...

Effects of genotype and sowing date on phytostanol-phytosterol content and agronomic traits in wheat under organic agriculture [PDF]

, 2009
Cereals are an important source of sterols and stanols in the human diet. The present study underlines the effect of genotype and weather conditions in bread wheat, on total sterol and stanol content (TSS), agronomic traits, proteins and ash content ...

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 ...
