Insulin sensitivity regulates cholesterol metabolism to a greater extent than obesity: lessons from the METSIM Study1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
Cholesterol synthesis is upregulated and absorption downregulated in insulin resistance and in type 2 dia-betes. We investigated whether alterations in cholesterol metabolism are observed across the glucose tolerance status, from normoglycemia through ...

Beta-sitosterols for benign prostatic hyperplasia

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 1999
This systematic review aimed to assess the effects of beta-sitosterols (B-sitosterol) on urinary symptoms and flow measures in men with of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Trials were searched in computerized general and specialized databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Phytodok), by checking bibliographies, and by contacting manufacturers ...

Plant Lipid Droplets and Derived Lipidic Nano‐Assemblies: Structure, Biogenesis and Pharmaceutical Applications

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lipid droplets (LDs) serve as the primary storage site for neutral lipids in plant cells, with growing evidence supporting many additional biological roles, such as in lipid homeostasis, signalling, trafficking, inflammatory responses and inter‐organelle communication.

Fate of intravenously administered squalene and plant sterols in human subjects

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
We have studied metabolism of plant sterols and squalene administered intravenously in the form of lipid emulsion mimicking chylomicrons (CM). The CM-like lipid emulsion was prepared by dissolving squalene in commercially available Intralipid®.

Glycoalkaloid‐Free Starch Potatoes Generated by CRISPR/Cas9‐Mediated Mutations of Genes in the Glycoalkaloid Biosynthesis Pathway Enable More Sustainable Uses of By‐Products From Starch Production

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) are toxic cholesterol‐derived secondary metabolites present in several Solanaceae species. In potato, tuber SGA levels are for reasons of toxicity of concern in both table and starch cultivars. In the latter, SGAs bind to proteins and fibres in starch production side‐streams and prevent their further uses as ...

A sterol panel for rare lipid disorders: sitosterolemia, cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis and Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome

Journal of Lipid Research
Disease-specific sterols accumulate in the blood of patients with several rare lipid disorders. Biochemical measurement of these sterols is important for correct diagnosis and sometimes monitoring of treatment.

Inheritance of cholesterol metabolism of probands with high or low cholesterol absorption

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
Heredity of cholesterol absorption and synthesis was studied in siblings of hypercholesterolemic probands with low and high serum cholestanol to cholesterol ratio (assumed to indicate low and high absorption of cholesterol, respectively).

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.

Insulin resistance is associated with increased cholesterol synthesis and decreased cholesterol absorption in normoglycemic men

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
Type 2 diabetes has been associated with high synthesis and low absorption of cholesterol independent of weight, indicating that insulin resistance may be a link between glucose and cholesterol metabolism.
