Sterols in asthma

Trends in Immunology, 2022
While sterols regulate immune processes key to the pathogenesis of asthma, inhibition of sterols with statin drugs has shown conflicting results in human asthma. Here, a novel understanding of the impact of sterols on type 17 immune responses and asthma lead us to hypothesize that sterols and statins may be relevant to severe asthma endotypes with ...

Diversity of Plant Sterols Metabolism: The Impact on Human Health, Sport, and Accumulation of Contaminating Sterols

open access: yesNutrients, 2021
The way of plant sterols transformation and their benefits for humans is still a question under the massive continuing revision. In fact, there are no receptors for binding with sterols in mammalians.

Sterol Glycosyltransferases—The Enzymes That Modify Sterols

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2011
Sterols are important components of cell membranes, hormones, signalling molecules and defense-related biotic and abiotic chemicals. Sterol glycosyltransferases (SGTs) are enzymes involved in sterol modifications and play an important role in metabolic plasticity during adaptive responses.

Plant sterols: Diversity, biosynthesis, and physiological functions [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemistry (Moscow), 2016
© 2016, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.Sterols, which are isoprenoid derivatives, are structural components of biological membranes. Special attention is now being given not only to their structure and function, but also to their regulatory roles in plants ...

Sterols of eustigmatophytes

Lipids, 1994
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 ...

The sterols of echinoderms

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B. Biological Sciences, 1972
Abstract The pioneering work of Bergmann and his colleagues demonstrated that marine invertebrates in many cases contain complex sterol mixtures consisting of C27, C28 and C29 sterols of varying degrees of unsaturation (Bergmann 1949, 1962). The sterols found in the phylum Echinodermata have proved of particular interest not only from

Sterols of Laminaria

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, 1968
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.
