Changes in the composition of phospholipid fatty acids and sterols of maize root in response to monoterpenes
(Springer Verlag Berlín, 2005-07)
Terpenes are thought to be important in plantYplant interactions because of their phytotoxic action on seed germination and growth. Herein, the effects of five volatile monoterpenes on root sterols and phospholipid fatty ...
C-5(6) Sterol Desaturase from Tetrahymena thermophila: Gene Identification and Knockout, Sequence Analysis, and Comparison to Other C-5(6) Sterol Desaturases
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009-12)
The gene coding for a C-5(6) sterol desaturase in Tetrahymena thermophila, DES5A, has been identified by the knockout of the TTHERM_01194720 sequence. Macronucleus transformation was achieved by biolistic bombardment and ...
Phytosterol and cholesterol precursor levels indicate increased cholesterol excretion and biosynthesis in gallstone disease
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2012)
In hepatocytes and enterocytes sterol uptake and secretion is mediated by Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) and ATP-binding cassette (ABC)G5/8 proteins, respectively. Whereas serum levels of phytosterols represent surrogate ...
Identification of triterpenes and sterols from pterogyne nitens (fabaceae-caesalpinioideae) using high-resolution gas chromatography
(Soc Chilena Quimica, 2009-09-01)
As part of our ongoing bioprospecting studies on secondary metabolites in plants of Cerrado and Atlantic Rain Forest of São Paulo State (Brazil), we describe the identification of triterpenes and sterols present in the ...

Phytosterols and phytosterolemia: gene-diet interactions
(Springer, 2011-02-01)
Phytosterol intake is recommended as an adjunctive therapy for hypercholesterolemia, and plant sterols/stanols can reduce cholesterol absorption at the intestinal lumen through the Niemann-Pick C1 Like 1 (NPC1L1) transporter ...
Alterations in the sterol signature of detritivorous fish along pollution gradients in the Río de la Plata basin (Argentina): From plant to sewage-based diet
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2020-05)
In order to assess the impact of sewage pollution on the diet of the strict detritivorous and migratory South American fish, Prochilodus lineatus, 16 sterol biomarkers were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry ...
Early diagenetic alterations of sterol biomarkers during particle settling and burial in polluted and pristine areas of the Rio de la Plata Basin
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-03)
Sources and diagenetic alterations of sterol markers were studied in settling material and sediments near the Buenos Aires main sewer (BA), and at a relatively non-polluted northern site at the Uruguay River (N). Vertical ...
High intestinal cholesterol absorption is associated with cardiovascular disease and risk alleles in ABCG8 and ABO: Evidence from the LURIC and YFS cohorts and from a meta-analysis
(2013)
Objectives: This study sought to determine whether high intestinal cholesterol absorption represents a cardiovascular risk factor and to link ABCG8 and ABO variants to cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Background: Plant ...
