Plant-based beverages as good sources of free and glycosidic plant sterols [PDF]
To address the ever-growing group of health-conscious consumers, more and more nutritional and health claims are being used on food products. Nevertheless, only very few food constituents, including plant sterols, have been appointed an approved health ...

Diatoms synthesize sterols by inclusion of animal and fungal genes in the plant pathway [PDF]
Diatoms are ubiquitous microalgae that have developed remarkable metabolic plasticity and gene diversification. Here we report the first elucidation of the complete biosynthesis of sterols in the lineage.

Besnoitia besnoiti infection alters both endogenous cholesterol de novo synthesis and exogenous LDL uptake in host endothelial cells [PDF]
Besnoitia besnoiti, an apicomplexan parasite of cattle being considered as emergent in Europe, replicates fast in host endothelial cells during acute infection and is in considerable need for energy, lipids and other building blocks for offspring ...

Changes in rat liver fatty acid profile in experimental non-alcoholic steatohepatitis
Introduction. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease in the world. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a clinically progressive morphological form of NAFLD, ranks second in the list of reasons for liver ...

Introducing the concept of biocatalysis in the classroom: The conversion of cholesterol to provitamin D 3 [PDF]
Biocatalysis is a fundamental concept in biotechnology. The topic integrates knowledge of several disciplines; therefore, it was included in the course “design and optimization of biological systems” which is offered in the biochemistry curricula.

Endosperm sterol phenotype and germination in wheat [PDF]
Free and conjugated sterols of endosperm, coats, scutellum, coleoptile and roots have been analysed at different germination stages in two wheat cultivars with different endosperm sterol phenotypes.
