Synthesis and Characterization of Stigmasterol Oxidation Products

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2010
The synthesis and structural characterization of a series of oxides of stigmasterol is described providing a valuable series of reference standards for these oxides, analogous to the cholesterol oxidation products (COPs) which have been shown to have detrimental biological effects.

Intermediates of stigmasterol metabolism in spodoptera littoralis

Steroids, 1989
Stigmasterol-24,28-epoxide, 22E-stigmasta-5,22,24(28E)-trien-3 beta-ol, and 22E-cholesta-5,22,24-trien-3 beta-ol were identified as normal metabolites of [3H]stigmasterol in Spodoptera littoralis larvae. Relative concentrations of all three of these metabolites increased when a diazasterol inhibitor was fed in combination with stigmasterol in the ...

Why Do Plants Convert Sitosterol to Stigmasterol?

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
A direct role for cholesterol signaling in mammals is clearly established; yet, the direct role in signaling for a plant sterol or sterol precursor is unclear.

The metabolism of stigmasterol and cholesterol by Paramecium aurelia

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1971
Abstract 1. 1. Paramecium aurelia , stock 299, can be grown in axenic culture only when supplemented with fatty acids and an appropriate sterol. The metabolic fate of nutritionally active stigmasterol and inactive cholesterol was determined. 2. 2. Stigmasterol is converted to 7-dehydrostigmasterol.

Nanocrystals as Tool to Enhance Stigmasterol Oral Bioavailability

Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2021
Phytosterols are sterols naturally occurring in plant cells and well known for their cholesterollowering activity, as witnessed by the large number of food supplements based on these functional ingredients available on the market. However, the marked hydrophobic character of phytosterols makes their solubility in biological fluids extremely low, with ...

Stigmasterol protects rats from collagen induced arthritis by inhibiting proinflammatory cytokines.

International Immunopharmacology, 2020
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder, in which imbalance in synthesis and production of inflammatory cytokines promotes cartilage and bone destruction.

Stigmasterol Removal by an Aerobic Treatment System

2017
Stigmasterol is a phytosterol contained in Kraft mill effluent that is able to increase over 100% after aerobic biological treatment. This compound can act as an endocrine disrupter as its structure is similar to that of cholesterol. Furthermore, stigmasterol contained in Kraft mill effluent shows high toxicity (25-fold that of β-sitosterol) to aquatic

Oxidation of stigmasterol in heated triacylglycerols

Food Chemistry, 1989
Abstract A triacylglycerol mixture containing 5% stigmasterol by weight and devoid of other unsaponifiables was heated at 180 ± 5°C for several hours. Oxidation products from stigmasterol were separated and isolated by column chromatography and preparative thin-layer chromatography.

Antihypercholesterolemic Studies with Sterols: β-Sitosterol and Stigmasterol

Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1979
Stigmasterol, which differs from beta-sitosterol by unsaturation at C22, was tested for antihypercholesterolemic activity under an experimental protocol that gave the results expected with beta-sitosterol and cholestyramine. In terms of serum cholesterol, stigmasterol had a barely significant antihypercholesterolemic effect while exhibiting no obvious ...
