Assessment of extracts from red yeast rice for herb-drug interaction by in-vitro and in-vivo assays [PDF]

, 2012
Red yeast rice (RYR) is made by fermenting the yeast Monascus purpureus over rice. It is a source of natural red food colorants, a food garnish and a traditional medication.

Sea cucumber derived sulfated sterols alter glucose metabolism by promoting gluconeogenesis and reducing glycogenesis in healthy mice

Food Science and Human Wellness
Sea cucumber derived sulfated sterols significantly ameliorated insulin resistance and decreased lipid accumulation compared to plant sterols. Interestingly, our recent study found that intervention with sea cucumber sulfated sterols could significantly ...

Selective sterol accumulation in ABCG5/ABCG8-deficient mice

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
The ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters ABCG5 and ABCG8 limit intestinal absorption and promote biliary secretion of neutral sterols. Mutations in either gene cause sitosterolemia, a rare recessive disease in which plasma and tissue levels of several

POTENTIAL HEALTHCARE SAVINGS FROM PLANT STEROL ENRICHED FOODS IN CANADA [PDF]

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.

Hepatic transport and secretion of unesterified cholesterol in the rat is traced by the plant sterol, sitostanol.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1996
The hepatic uptake, transport, and secretion into bile of unesterified cholesterol cannot be directly quantitated because of extensive exchange and equilibration between different pools of unesterified cholesterol.

An improved gas-liquid chromatographic method for the determination of fecal neutral sterols

Journal of Lipid Research, 1983
The analysis of fecal neutral sterols has been improved by use of a highly selective gas-liquid chromatography column packed with SP-2401. This chromatographic column allows separation of cholesterol and cholestanol and delta 5-5 alpha plant sterol ...

Effects of diet and metamorphosis upon the sterol composition of the butterfly Morpho peleides

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
Whole body sterol metabolism in insects has seldom been studied. We were able to design an appropriate study at a butterfly farm in Belize. We collected six larvas of butterfly (Morpho peleides), their food (leaves of Pterocarpus bayessii), and their ...

A sterol panel for rare lipid disorders: sitosterolemia, cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis and Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome

Journal of Lipid Research
Disease-specific sterols accumulate in the blood of patients with several rare lipid disorders. Biochemical measurement of these sterols is important for correct diagnosis and sometimes monitoring of treatment.
