Sterol Content of Fish, Crustacea and Mollusc: Effects of Cooking Methods
TL;DR: The highest desmosterol content was observed for fried fish, whereas the frying process resulted in a significant loss in cholesterol and sitosterol contents of marine fish (p < 0.05).
Patent
Oils enriched with diacylglycerols and phytosterol esters and unit dosage forms thereof for use in therapy
TL;DR: In this paper, various lipid mixtures, more particularly special mixtures of fatty acids esters, which may be phytosterol esters and/or glyceride esters are evaluated in the context of their ability to, upon consumption, affect the levels of circulating LDL and HDL particles, and their therapeutic effect on conditions associated with lipid metabolism.

Mechanism and kinetics of the oxidative damage to ergosterol induced by peroxyl radicals in lipid media: a theoretical quantum chemistry study
TL;DR: It is concluded that ergosterol is more susceptible to damage produced by peroxyl radicals than cholesterol and fatty acids, which suggests that fungal cells might be more sensitive to these radicals than animal cells, coinciding with the fact that one of the targets in combating fungi is precisely ergosterols.
Natural antihyperlipidemic agents: Current status and future perspectives
TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to highlight the current antihyperlipidemic drugs and their targets, the natural hypolipidemic agents and their mechanisms of action as well as experimental models of assessments.

A rapid method of total lipid extraction and purification.
E. G. Bligh,W. J. Dyer +1 more
TL;DR: The lipid decomposition studies in frozen fish have led to the development of a simple and rapid method for the extraction and purification of lipids from biological materials that has been applied to fish muscle and may easily be adapted to use with other tissues.

TL;DR: Dairy therapy remains the first line of treatment of high blood cholesterol, and drug therapy is reserved for patients who are considered to be at high risk for CHD, and the fundamental approach to treatment is comparable.

Accumulation of Dietary Cholesterol in Sitosterolemia Caused by Mutations in Adjacent ABC Transporters
Knut Erik Berge,Hui Tian,Gregory A. Graf,Liqing Yu,Nick V. Grishin,Joshua Schultz,Peter Kwiterovich,Bei Shan,Robert Barnes,Helen H. Hobbs +9 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that ABCG5 and ABCG8 normally cooperate to limit intestinal absorption and to promote biliary excretion of sterols, and that mutated forms of these transporters predispose to sterol accumulation and atherosclerosis.
