Phytosterols, phytostanols, and their conjugates in foods: structural diversity, quantitative analysis, and health-promoting uses

TL;DR: Phytosterols and phytostanols have received much attention in the last five years because of their cholesterol-lowering properties and the popularity of these products has caused the medical and biochemical community to focus much attention on phytosterol research activity.

Potato glycoalkaloids: chemistry, analysis, safety, and plant physiology

TL;DR: This review presents an integrated, critical assessment of the multifaceted aspects of the role glycoalkaloids play in nutrition and food safety, and the possible contribution to the multifactorial aspects of teratogenicity is inconclusive.

A History of Grafting

TL;DR: The role of grafting in human history is described, and important ways the rootstock (root system) influences the scion (shoot system) and vice versa are described.

Bioactivities of glycoalkaloids and their aglycones from Solanum species.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the bioactivity of glycoalkaloids and their aglycones of the Solanum species, particularly focused on comparison of their bioactivities including their anticancer, anticholesterol, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, and antipyretic effects, toxicity, and synergism of action is presented.

Sterol Distribution in Intracellular Organelles Isolated from Tobacco Leaves

TL;DR: The results support the suggestion that sterols in plant cells may have a physiological function associated with membranes, and the intracellular distribution pattern of cholesterol-(14)C added to the isolation medium provided evidence that the intrACEllular sterol distribution pattern is not an artifact.
