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.

In vivo studies of sterol and squalene secretion by human skin
Journal of Lipid Research, 1974 This work was aimed at studying the quantity and composition of sterols and squalene secreted by the human skin. Lipids secreted by the entire skin were recovered by Soxhlet extraction of the clothing worn by a patient for 24 hr with a chloroform ...

Microbial community dynamics during composting of sewage sludge and straw studied through phospholipid and neutral lipid analysis [PDF]
, 2008 The composting process involves a succession of different communities of microorganisms that decompose the initial material, transforming it into a stable final product. In thiswork, the levels of phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA), neutral lipid fatty acid (

Effect of cellulose in the diet on the recovery of dietary plant sterols from the feces
Journal of Lipid Research, 1970 In one normal subject, J.S., fed several formula diets in a sterol balance study, only 25-58% of the ingested plant sterols were recovered from the stool. The dietary plant sterols were completely recovered from the stools of five other men. Plant sterol

The microstratigraphy of middens: capturing daily routine in rubbish at Neolithic Çatalhöyük, Turkey [PDF]
, 2011 Microstratigraphy — the sequencing of detailed biological signals on site — is an important new approach being developed in the Çatalhöyük project. Here the authors show how microscopic recording of the strata and content of widespread middens on the ...
