Serum squalene and noncholesterol sterols before and after delivery in normal and cholestatic pregnancy

Journal of Lipid Research, 1996
Mechanisms of hyperlipidemia were studied by measurement of serum lipid concentrations and the ratios of cholesterol precursors (squalene, delta 8-cholestenol, desmosterol, and lathosterol), plant sterols (campesterol and sitosterol), and cholestanol (a ...

Fungal Antimicrobial Resistance: Mechanisms, Drivers, and Global Clinical Burden

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fungal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern for world health caused by an increase in multidrug‐resistant infections, an increase in environmental reservoirs, and the ineffectiveness of current antifungal treatments. Fungal infections continue to be largely excluded from AMR initiatives while causing over 1.6 million deaths ...

Contribution of Free Fatty Acids to Emulsion Building and Stability: Understanding the Mechanism From the Case Study of a Crude Red Palm Oil (Elaeis guineensis)—Based Emulsion Consumed in Africa and Known as Achu Soup/Sauce Jaune/Ncha

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
In an aqueous alkaline medium, fatty acids (from the hydrolysis of triglycerides or freely present in the oil) are ionised in order to form emulsifiers (carboxylates) which will physically stabilise the prepared emulsion. The higher the free fatty acids content of the oil and alkalinity of the solution, the higher will be the stability of the prepared ...

Sterol absorption and sterol balance in phytosterolemia evaluated by deuterium-labeled sterols: effect of sitostanol treatment.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1995
Absorption of dietary cholesterol, campesterol, and sitosterol, cholesterol balance, and fecal excretion of plant sterols were determined in three unrelated patients with phytosterolemia and three healthy volunteers during constant intake of cholesterol ...

A New Vista of Opportunity in Diabetes Management: Natural Product‐Based β‐cell Preservation

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Preserving functional β‐cells via natural products offers promising strategy for diabetes treatment. ABSTRACT A defining characteristic of diabetes is β‐cell failure, in which β‐cells cannot modulate insulin secretion to compensate for escalating insulin resistance, pushing forward disease development.

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

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.
