Plant phloem sterol content: forms, putative functions, and implications for phloem-feeding insects
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 All eukaryotes contain sterols, which serve as structural components in cell membranes, and as precursors for important hormones. Plant vegetative tissues are known to contain mixtures of sterols, but very little is known about the sterol composition of ...

Selective sterol accumulation in ABCG5/ABCG8-deficient mice
Journal of Lipid Research, 2004 The ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters ABCG5 and ABCG8 limit intestinal absorption and promote biliary secretion of neutral sterols. Mutations in either gene cause sitosterolemia, a rare recessive disease in which plasma and tissue levels of several

Evidence of late Quaternary environmental change in a continental east Antarctic lake from lacustrine sedimentary pigment distributions [PDF]
, 2005 A sediment core from Progress Lake, one of the oldest lacustrine sequences in East Antarctica, contains distinct zones dating from a previous interglacial (most likely Marine Isotope Stage 5e, c.

Effects of diet and metamorphosis upon the sterol composition of the butterfly Morpho peleides
Journal of Lipid Research, 2006 Whole body sterol metabolism in insects has seldom been studied. We were able to design an appropriate study at a butterfly farm in Belize. We collected six larvas of butterfly (Morpho peleides), their food (leaves of Pterocarpus bayessii), and their ...

Sterol content of the Myxomycetes Physarum polycephalum and P. flavicomum
Journal of Lipid Research, 1976 The sterol content of two Myxomycetes, Physarum polycephalum and P. flavicomum has been examined. The sterols of the two species are apparently identical, the two major sterols in each being poriferasterol and 22-dihydroporiferasterol.

Tetraploid Wheats: Valuable Source of Phytosterols and Phytostanols
Agronomy, 2019 Phytosterols are known as healthy compounds obtained mainly from oilseed crops. Cereals were also studied for their sterols content. Few insights have been devoted to other tetraploid species than emmer and durum wheats.

The TriForC database : a comprehensive up-to-date resource of plant triterpene biosynthesis [PDF]
, 2018 Triterpenes constitute a large and important class of plant natural products with diverse structures and functions. Their biological roles range from membrane structural components over plant hormones to specialized plant defence compounds.
