Sluggish sitosterol turnover and hepatic failure to excrete sitosterol into bile cause expansion of body pool of sitosterol in patients with sitosterolemia and xanthomatosis. [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis and Thrombosis: A Journal of Vascular Biology, 1991
Sitosterolemia and xanthomatosis are characterized by the development of tendon and tuberous xanthomas at an early age and premature atherosclerosis despite normal plasma cholesterol concentrations. The reason(s) for the xanthoma formation and premature atherosclerosis are not clearly understood.

From nature to nanoscale: advances, challenges, and preclinical translation of nanofiber drug delivery systems containing plant‐derived active ingredients

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Since the early 1960s, nanotechnology has been a critical area of science, allowing for the development of sophisticated nanomaterials. Nanofibers, one of the most widely used nanotechnological drug delivery systems, have emerged as a highly versatile platform within modern pharmaceutical sciences.

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.

Selenium Dehydrogenation of Sitosterol [PDF]

Nature, 1933
WE have reported1 that the selenium dehydrogena-tion of cholesterol C27H46O and ergosterol C28H44O gives two different hydrocarbons, C25H24, m.p. 225°, and C26H26, m.p. 214°, respectively, while Diels and Karstens2 claimed the formation of only one product, C25H24, m.p. 220°, from both sterols.

Bee pollen as functional food and environmental bioindicator: current evidence and future challenges

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Bee pollen (BP), a plant‐derived product collected by honey bees, is increasingly promoted as a functional food due to its content of proteins, essential amino acids, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids.

Endophytic fungi from two isolated Bethencourtia palmensis populations: metabolomic and bioactivity fingerprinting

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We compared two island populations of Bethencourtia palmensis and their culturable endophytic fungi, revealing distinct plant chemistries and a higher biopesticidal potential in the endophytic fungi from La Palma population along with high potential for the discovery of novel compounds.

Polar Lipid and Fatty Acid Profiles of Oat Groats Substantially Influenced by Field Management: A Comparison of Cultivars, Sowing Times and Fertilizer Composition

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The polar lipids in oat grains are crucial due to their biological functions, nutritional quality, potential use in food flavour and processing, the protection they provide against biotic and abiotic stresses, and their ability to act as cellular signalling molecules.

Olive Oil Quality Analysis and the Detection of Adulterations by GC‐MS With Cold EI

Journal of Mass Spectrometry, Volume 61, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Olive oil is widely consumed for its nutritional and health benefits, yet its high market value makes it vulnerable to adulteration and mislabeling. Current analytical approaches for assessing olive oil quality and authenticity rely largely on indirect analyses, such as fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) profiles, peroxide values, or UV absorbance,
