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®.

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 ...

Sterols in the small intestine of the rat, guinea pig, and rabbit
Journal of Lipid Research, 1971 The sterol content and composition of the small intestinal mucosa has been studied in the rat, guinea pig, and rabbit. In the three species, noncholesterol sterols formed a large proportion of the total sterol content. In the rat, the contribution due to

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 ...

Ezetimibe normalizes metabolic defects in mice lacking ABCG5 and ABCG8
Journal of Lipid Research, 2005 The ATP binding cassette transporters ABCG5 (G5) and ABCG8 (G8) limit the accumulation of neutral sterols by restricting sterol uptake from the intestine and promoting sterol excretion into bile.

Cultivar and Year-to-Year Variation of Phytosterol Content in Rye (Secale cereale L.) [PDF]
, 2004 Intake of phytosterols (and -stanols) has been shown to decrease the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and thus protect against development of cardiovascular diseases.

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.

Sterol content of the Myxomycetes Physarum polycephalum and P. flavicomum
Journal of Lipid Research, 1976 The sterol content of two Myxomycetes, Physarum polycephalum and P. flavicomum has been examined. The sterols of the two species are apparently identical, the two major sterols in each being poriferasterol and 22-dihydroporiferasterol.
