Mutations in UDP-Glucose:Sterol Glucosyltransferase in Arabidopsis Cause Transparent Testa Phenotype and Suberization Defect in Seeds [PDF]

, 2009
In higher plants, the most abundant sterol derivatives are steryl glycosides (SGs) and acyl SGs. Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) contains two genes, UGT80A2 and UGT80B1, that encode UDP-Glc:sterol glycosyltransferases, enzymes that catalyze the ...

β-Sitosterol, β-Sitosterol Glucoside, and a Mixture of β-Sitosterol and β-Sitosterol Glucoside Modulate the Growth of Estrogen-Responsive Breast Cancer Cells In Vitro and in Ovariectomized Athymic Mice [PDF]

The Journal of Nutrition, 2004
We hypothesized that the phytosterols beta-sitosterol (BSS), beta-sitosterol glucoside (BSSG), and Moducare (MC; BSS:BSSG = 99:1) could modulate the growth of estrogen-dependent human breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. The present study evaluated the estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects of BSS, BSSG, and MC (0.001 to 150 micromol/L) on the ...

Plasma levels of plant sterols and the risk of coronary artery disease: the prospective EPIC-Norfolk Population Study

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007
Some studies have suggested that a modest increase of plant sterol levels is a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). We studied the relationship between plant sterol levels and CAD risk in a prospective nested case-control study consisting of ...

Quantum chemical treatment of β-sitosterol molecule

Pharmaceutical Biology, 2010
Beta-sitosterol is used as a dietary supplement for lowering plasma cholesterol, and has atherosclerosis preventive, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antipyretic, induced apoptosis, and anticancer effects. In order to understand the effect of the molecule we have investigated the molecule theoretically.

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 ...
