Profiling and Metabolism of Sterols in the Weaver Ant Genus
Natural Product Communications, 2016 Sterols are essential to insects because they are vital for many biochemical processes, nevertheless insects cannot synthesize sterols but have to acquire them through their diet.

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

Journal of Lipid Research, 2016 Mammalian cells synthesize various sterol molecules, including the C30 sterol, lanosterol, as cholesterol precursors in the endoplasmic reticulum. The build-up of precursor sterols, including lanosterol, displays cellular toxicity.

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.

Evolution of Extra Virgin Olive Oil Quality under Different Storage Conditions
Foods, 2021 The extent and conditions of storage may affect the stability and quality of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). This study aimed at evaluating the effects of different storage conditions (ambient, 4 °C and −18 °C temperatures, and argon headspace) on three ...

Sterols in the small intestine of the rat, guinea pig, and rabbit
Journal of Lipid Research, 1971 The sterol content and composition of the small intestinal mucosa has been studied in the rat, guinea pig, and rabbit. In the three species, noncholesterol sterols formed a large proportion of the total sterol content. In the rat, the contribution due to
