Genetic Control of Serum Marinobufagenin in the Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat and the Relationship to Blood Pressure

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundWe have investigated serum levels of immunoreactive marinobufagenin (MBG) in 16‐ to 20‐week‐old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs)‐A3 and in the normotensive Wistar‐Kyoto (WKY) rat strain in the absence of salt loading, and we have ...

The Lack of Standardization and Pharmacological Effect Limits the Potential Clinical Usefulness of Phytosterols in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Plants, 2023
The prevalence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) markedly increases with age. Phytotherapeutic approaches have been developed over time owing to the adverse side effects of conventional medications such as 5-reductase inhibitors and α1-adrenergic ...

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 ...

Genetic control of sterol esterification in developing wheat endosperm [PDF]

, 1975
1. 1. The action of gene Pln, previously characterized by the sterol ester patterns of mature whole wheat kernels, has been found to be restricted to the endosperm and not to affect the embryo, the pericarp or the seed coat. 2. 2.
