Inhibition of sterol biosynthesis by 14α-hydroxymethyl sterols
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1978Abstract 14α-Hydroxymethyl-5α-cholest-7-en-3β-ol (I) and 14α-hydroxymethyl-5α-cholest-6-en-3β-ol (II) have been prepared by chemical synthesis from 3β-acetoxy-7α,32-epoxy-14α-methyl-5α-cholestane. Compound I, previously shown to be efficiently convertible to cholesterol upon incubation with rat liver homogenate preparations, has been found to be a ...

AbstractThe oyster cannot synthesize sterols from smaller molecules but must obtain them from its diet, which consists of detritus and small organisms, i.e., mostly single‐celled algae. Algae differ widely in their effectiveness as oyster food. Small (<5 μm) algae which are abundant in sterols and polyunsaturated fatty acids appear to be most ...

Abstract 1. 1. Fucosterol, 24-methylene cholesterol, cholesterol, saringosterol and, tentatively, desmosterol were identified in Laminaria faeroensis and L. digitata . 2. 2. Wtith the exception of choleserol, which is quantitatively a minor sterol, all the sterols were unsaturated in the side-chain. 3. 3.

Intracellular sterol trafficking
Experientia, 1990Sterols are acquired by cells either biosynthetically by the interaction of cytoplasmic and endoplasmic reticulum elements, or by endocytosis. The subcellular distribution of sterols, however, argues that sterols are trafficked quickly from sites of acquisition to target membranes, particularly the plasma membrane.

Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of brain sterol metabolism. Histochemical, cytochemical, developmental, and biochemical studies indicate that much of the brain cholesterol is localized in the lipid–protein layers of the myelin sheath.

Sterols are vital components of all eukaryotic cells. This review describes the variety of sterol structures found in microalgae, yeasts, fungi, protozoans and microheterotrophs. Reports of the occurrence of sterols in prokaryotic cells are critically assessed.
