Synthesis of a Side Chain Alkyne Analogue of Sitosterol as a Chemical Probe for Imaging in Plant Cells

Biomolecules
Clickable chemical tools are essential for studying the localization and role of biomolecules in living cells. For this purpose, alkyne-based close analogs of the respective biomolecules are of outstanding interest. Here, in the field of phytosterols, we

Restraint of cholesterol accumulation in tissue pools associated with drastic short-term lowering of serum cholesterol levels by clofibrate or cholestyramine in hypercholesterolemic swine

Journal of Lipid Research, 1974
In this study, young growing swine were made hypercholesterolemic (∼300 mg/dl) by feeding milk and eggs for 7 wk. They were then divided into three groups (untreated, clofibrate-treated, and cholestyramine-treated), and the diet was continued for an ...

Phytosterol plasma concentrations and coronary heart disease in the prospective Spanish EPIC cohort

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
Phytosterol intake with natural foods, a measure of healthy dietary choices, increases plasma levels, but increased plasma phytosterols are believed to be a coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factor.

Ashwagandha: Is It Safe? Part 2: A Preclinical Evidence Review

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The preclinical evidence for the safety of ashwagandha (Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal, AS) is reviewed, and its preparations (extracts) and constituents, from the general toxicity in animal models to in vitro and cell culture studies, which may elucidate mechanisms of action and explain clinical case reports.

Fats, Fire and Bronze Age Funerary Rites: Organic Residue Analysis of Wide Horizontal Rim Vessels From Burial Contexts in Northwest Portugal

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the first GC‐MS–based analyses of wide horizontal rim vessels with well‐defined funerary contexts, from Middle Bronze Age Portugal (Quinta do Amorim 2 and Pego). Organic residues from two vessels revealed ruminant fats and plant oils, alongside molecular markers of heat exposure.
