TL;DR: This study reports for the first time the extraction and quantification of sterols in six species of brown macroalgae from Antarctica: Adenocystis utricularis, Ascoseira mirabilis, Cystosphaera jacquinotii, Desmarestia anceps, Desmaresstia antarctica, and Himantothallus grandifolius.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enrichment of tocopherols and phytosterols in canola oil during seed germination.
TL;DR: Germination may represent a viable means to naturally concentrate these high-value constituents in canola oil, offering improvements in oil quality based on the nutritional value and oxidative protection offered by tocopherols and the health benefits provided by both tocophemicals and phytosterols.

Phytosterols in Cancer: From Molecular Mechanisms to Preventive and Therapeutic Potentials.
TL;DR: The purpose of this review was to revisit and update the current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms involved in the anticancer action of phytosterols and their potential in cancer prevention or treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial constituents of the plant family Amaryllidaceae.
TL;DR: This review accounts for close to a hundred of such entities, mainly isoquinoline alkaloids, which have been the focus in assays of thirty different bacterial pathogens and promising activities were detected in several instances, although disappointingly the submicromolar level could not be breached.
Journal ArticleDOI
Commercial peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) cultivars in the United States: phytosterol composition.
TL;DR: Phytosterols in commercially grown Runner, Virginia, and Spanish peanuts were quantified by a combination of acid hydrolysis and alkaline saponification steps followed by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection and gas Chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of the trimethylsilyl derivatives.

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.
