Phytosterol-enriched margarine substitution in the management of familial hypercholesterolaemia
The primary objective was to substitute phytosterol and regula margarine into the diets of familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) patients and to investigate whether the phytosterol containing margarine had a cholesterol lowering effect. Another objective was to investigate immune responses to …

Effect of phytosterol enrichment on the crystallisation, physiochemical, and interfacial behaviour of bulk and emulsified milk fat triacylglycerol matrices
Phytosterols possess the ability to significantly lower levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the blood, but their bioaccessibility is dependent upon the solubility of the phytosterol in the consumable food or pharmaceutical product. Phytosterols are one of the most commonly used …

HEPATIC LIPID METABOLISM: THE ROLES OF ACAT2 AND ABCG5/G8 IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND PREVENTION OF DISEASE
… by high retention of dietary plant sterols (phytosterols). Further, data are presented that indicate that ACAT2 does not efficiently esterify plant sterols in vivo. In collaborative studies, we also showed that mice that retain phytosterols (G5G8-/-) do not have altered bile acid composition, …

MECHANISMS OF INTESTINAL CHOLESTEROL ABSORPTION AND TRANSPORT IN MOUSE THORACIC LYMPH DUCT LIPOPROTEINS
… metabolic fate of newly absorbed cholesterol and phytosterols is orchestrated through the sterol transporter, adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter G5/G8 heterodimer (G5/G8), and the cholesterol esterifying enzyme, acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase 2 (ACAT2). We …

An investigation of genetic factors impacting sterol profiles in Australian olive oils
Analyses of phytosterol levels in Australian olive oils derived from the cultivar Barnea (Olea europaea L. cv. Barnea)reveal up to 4.8% campesterol, exceeding the IOOC standards that stipulate a level of <4%. It has been observed that sterol profiles appear to remain relatively consistent within …

The effect of the growth retardant Paclobutrazol on the in vitro growth and development of Betula and Populus species
… explants' response to directional light, and the phytosterol content of explant leaves. It was shown that treatments of PBZ, irrespective of concentration, had a regulatory effect on the growth of explants of both species. Recorded height, fresh weight and dry weight of explants showed a reduced …

Separation of Fiber From Distillers Dried Grains With Solubles Using Sieving and Elutriation
… at higher input rates. Enhanced DDGS had higher phytosterol content than elusieve fiber. Elusieve fiber was suitable for production of corn fiber gum and ethanol. Elusieve process was beneficial in separating fiber from distillers dried grains (DDG) also."

Dissecting the molecular responses of Sorghum bicolor to Macrophomina phaseolina infection
… M. phaseolina significantly decreased the phytosterol, phosphatidylserine, and ox-lipid contents in Tx7000 while significantly increasing stigmasterol:sitosterol ratio. Except for ox-lipid content, none of the above was significantly affected in resistant SC599. Results suggested the lethal …

Pengaruh ekstrak daun pegagan (Centella asiatica (L.) urban) terhadap kadar antioksidan Superoksida Dismutase (SOD) dan Glutation Superoksida Hidroksil (GSH) pada ovarium mencit (Mus musculus)
… The presence of triterpenoid saponin and phytosterol compounds in gotu kola can effect negative feedback on the release of gonadotropin hormones that can interfere with the formation of follicles (folliculogenesis) in the ovaries, follicles consequently can not develop into a mature …

Cholesterol Lowering Effects of Milk with Added Phytosterols
<h1> </h1> <p>Foods incorporating plant sterols (PS) reduce Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) on average approximately 10%. PS with a higher lipid solubility may promote greater reductions. We examined the cholesterol lowering effect of a novel triglyceride recrystallized phystosterol (TRP). Twenty …
