Regulation of cholesterol absorption by phytosterols
Richard E. Ostlund,Xiaobo Lin +1 more
TL;DR: Phytosterols appear to be quantitatively as important to cholesterol lowering as reducing saturated fat consumption, and they provide an additional tool for regulation of circulating cholesterol through lifestyle changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A biochemical explanation for the success of mixotrophy in the flagellate Ochromonas sp.
TL;DR: Mixotrophy facilitated efficient growth as well as the ability to synthesize complex and essential biomolecules, which are important for many physiological functions such as membrane permeability and growth.

Extraction of oil and β-sitosterol from peach (Prunus persica) seeds using supercritical carbon dioxide
Mustafa Serhat Ekinci,Metin Gürü +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the results indicated that the amounts of oil and β-sitosterol extracted from the peach seeds were optimal with values of 35.3g/100g seed and 1220-mg/kg seed respectively at 40°C, 200-bar, 7ml/min, 0.3-1.7mm and 1-4h for mentioned parameters.

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.
