Sterol content of some plant oils; Further observations on fast-reacting sterols

Chromatographic analysis of plant sterols in foods and vegetable oils.

This paper reviews recently published chromatographic methods for the analysis of plant sterols in various sample matrices with emphasis on vegetable oils. An overview of structural complexities and biological/nutritional aspects including hypocholesterolemic activities of phytosterols is provided in the Section 1. The principal themes of the review highlight the development and application of ...

Some Relationships of Sterols to Plant Growth.

In spite of the universal occurrence of steroids in plants, the role of these materials remains quite unknown. That steroids possess physiological activity for the higher plant was in fact demonstrated only after the discovery of estrogenic principles in plants in 1926-1927 by LOEWE and SPOHR (22), DOHRN et al. (12), and LOEWE et al. (20, 21). The status of our knowledge of the influence of the...

Three Cases on Possession—Some Further Observations

Tropical Eosinophilia: Some Further Observations

82 per cent out of a total white cell count of 22,300|c.mm. from Tong King, China. Bass (1941) refers to 7 cases with a similar picture from America and Havana. Ritchie (1944) describes tropical eosinophilia in an African patient from Tanganyika. Parsons-Smith (1944) reports it in an English airman after 10 months' stay in Egypt. Treu (1944) mentions it in a Chinese patient from Singapore. McGu...

Consumption of plant sterols in Belgium: consumption patterns of plant sterol-enriched foods in Flanders, Belgium.

The present study describes the consumption of foods enriched with plant sterols (PS) and supplements containing PS, and evaluates PS intakes via the current consumption and for specific consumption scenarios. A market inventory was performed to collate different PS-enriched food items and supplements available in Belgium. An FFQ was developed to investigate the consumption of PS-enriched foods...
