Cholesterol-Lowering Efficacy of Plant Sterols/Stanols Provided in Capsule and Tablet Formats: Results of a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the LDL-cholesterol-lowering effect of plant sterols/stanols as supplements was quantified using a random effect model and the weighted mean effect sizes for net differences in LDL concentrations were calculated.

Update on the Healthful Lipid Constituents of Commercially Important Tree Nuts

TL;DR: In most cases, total phytosterol contents were greater in the present study than reported in peer-reviewed journal papers and the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, which is attributed to total lipid extraction and the inclusion of steryl glucosides in the analysis.

Phytosterols-induced viscoelasticity of oleogels prepared by using monoglycerides.

TL;DR: This combination is inspired by nature as sterols (phytosterols) are natural component of lipid membrane whilst MGP has properties similar to phospholipids, which is beneficial for oil structuring, but also for the fields of biophysical and pharmaceutical.

Subcritical extraction of flaxseed oil with n-propane: composition and purity.

TL;DR: Flaxseed oil obtained via subcritical n-propane fluid extraction (SubFE) was found to be up to 5 times more resistant to lipid oxidation as compared to the SEM oils and to be a promising alternative to conventional SEM.

A rapid method of total lipid extraction and purification.

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.

Accumulation of Dietary Cholesterol in Sitosterolemia Caused by Mutations in Adjacent ABC Transporters

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.
