The biosynthesis, absorption, and origin of cholesterol and plant sterols in the Florida land crab.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1981
In order to study the biosynthesis, composition, and origin of sterols in the Florida land crabs, Cardisoma guanhumi (Latreille), we fed 17 male crabs either a cholesterol-free or a high cholesterol diet for 2 to 7 weeks.

Sea cucumber derived sulfated sterols alter glucose metabolism by promoting gluconeogenesis and reducing glycogenesis in healthy mice

Food Science and Human Wellness
Sea cucumber derived sulfated sterols significantly ameliorated insulin resistance and decreased lipid accumulation compared to plant sterols. Interestingly, our recent study found that intervention with sea cucumber sulfated sterols could significantly ...

Sterols of skin in the normal and triparanol-treated rat

Journal of Lipid Research, 1963
Skin of normal rats and of rats treated with triparanol were incubated with acetate-2-H3 for 2 hr, and the sterols were extracted and separated chromatographically.

Inhibitors of sterol synthesis. Chromatography of acetate derivatives of oxygenated sterols.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1989
The separation of the acetate derivatives of a number of oxygenated sterols was achieved by medium pressure liquid chromatography on silica gel columns and by normal and reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography.

Sterols in Red and Green Algae: Quantification, Phylogeny, and Relevance for the Interpretation of Geologic Steranes

, 2008
Steroids, a class of triterpenoid lipids with high preservation potential, are widely distributed in sedimentary rocks. All eukaryotes have a physiological requirement for these molecules, making steroids important biomarkers for aiding our understanding

Plant sterol metabolism with emphasis on glycoalkaloid biosynthesis in potato [PDF]

, 2007
Glycoalkaloids are secondary metabolites present within species of the family Solanaceae. They are toxic to humans and animals, and it is important to keep the levels in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers below the safe limit for consumption ...

Novel use of faecal sterols to assess human faecal contamination in Antarctica : a likelihood assessment matrix for environmental monitoring [PDF]

, 2014
Wastewater containing human sewage is often discharged with little or no treatment into the Antarctic marine environment. Faecal sterols (primarily coprostanol) in sediments have been used for assessment of human sewage contamination in this environment,

Synthesis, Spectroscopic and Semiempirical Studies of New Quaternary Alkylammonium Conjugates of Sterols

Molecules, 2013
New quaternary alkylammonium conjugates of steroids were obtained by two step reaction of sterols (ergosterol, cholesterol, dihydrocholesterol) with bromoacetic acid bromide, followed by bimolecular nucleophilic substitution with a long chain tertiary ...
