Sitostanetriol is not formed in vivo from sitosterol in the rat.

TL;DR: The results show that sitostanetriol and campestanetRIol were not formed in vivo from phytosterols, and it seems that the sitosta-like compound is eliminated very slowly from the organism.

Optimization of Enzymatic Synthesis of Phytosteryl Caprylates Using Response Surface Methodology

TL;DR: In this article, the optimization of enzymatic synthesis of phytosteryl caprylates using response surface methodology (RSM) was investigated, the optimization process used a face-centred central composite design (CCD) and under optimized conditions (925 h, 215 substrate mole ratio, and 793% enzyme load) the resultant conversion yield was 98%

Analysis of sitosteryl oleate esters in phytosterols esters enriched foods by HPLC–ESI-MS2

TL;DR: A high-speed HPLC-MS(2) method was developed to analyze the major PE present in PE-enriched spreads: sitosteryl oleate (SO) and its oxidation products, by using synthesized compounds as standards, and found that under specific heating conditions the decrease of the SO amount was much more important compared to the formation of SO oxides.

Modulatory Effect of an Isolated Triglyceride from Fenugreek Seed Oil on of α-Amylase, Lipase and ACE Activities, Liver-Kidney Functions and Metabolic Disorders of Diabetic Rats.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that administration of pure fenugreek TG to diabetic rats ameliorated the glycogen rate in liver and muscle and inhibited lipase activity in small intestine which leads to the regulation of lipid profile.

Evaluation of Phytosterols in Milk and Yogurts Used as Functional Foods in Portugal

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the ingestion of phytosterols-enriched milk and yogurts could reduce cholesterolemia, and contrarily to milk, the different yogurt manufacturers had different options in the phydosterols added to the dairy foods commercialized.

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.
