Phytosterols, Phytostanols, and Lipoprotein Metabolism
The efficacy of phytosterols and phytostanols added to foods and food supplements to obtain significant non-pharmacologic serum and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol reduction is well documented. Irrespective of age, gender, ethnic background, body weight, background diet, or the cause of hypercholesterolemia and, even added to statin treatment, phytosterols and phytostanols at 2 g/day ...
متن کاملComplex interplays between phytosterols and plastid development
Isoprenoids comprise the largest class of natural compounds and are found in all kinds of organisms. In plants, they participate in both primary and specialized metabolism, playing essential roles in nearly all aspects of growth and development. The enormous diversity of this family of compounds is extensively exploited for biotechnological and biomedical applications as biomaterials, biofuels ...
متن کاملPhytosterols and Its Effect on Human Health
Phytosterols or stanols are large group of compounds found exclusively in plants. These are naturally present in plants and are structurally similar to cholesterol. A daily intake of 3 g of phytosterol (or their reduced form stanols) is associated with consistent and reproducible reduction in LDL cholesterol concentrations upto 10% and reduces the risk of coronary heart disease by 20% over a li...
متن کاملPhytosterolemia in parenteral nutrition patients: implications for liver disease development.
OBJECTIVE Phytosterols present in parenteral nutrition (PN) lipid emulsions have been linked to phytosterolemia and cholestatic liver disease, although no direct relation has been established. We investigated the relation among plasma phytosterol (PY) infused, total plasma PY levels, and possible links to PN-associated liver disease. METHODS Twenty-seven adult patients on home PN were enrolle...
متن کاملSimultaneous determination of b-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and brassicasterol in serum by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection†
A simple method for the determination of phytosterols such as b-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and brassicasterol has been developed using high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD). Under optimized conditions, the current peak height was linearly related to the amount of phytosterol injected, ranging from 10 to 200 mmol L 1 (r 1⁄4 0.999). The relat...
