Conversion of Sa-Cholestan-3@-ol to ~‘-5~-Cholesten-3~-ol in Cockroaches*
Detailed studies of the sterol requirement of the carnivorous beetle Dermestes vulpinus (1) which have been carried out in this laboratory have indicated that up to 97% of the normal dietary cholesterol requirement of this insect may be replaced by a number of other sterols. One of the compounds capable of sparing but not completely replacing cholesterol in the diet of these insects is cholesta...
متن کاملDietary cholesterol-oxidation products accumulate in serum and liver in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice, but do not accelerate atherosclerosis.
There are conflicting reports regarding the effect of dietary cholesterol-oxidation products (oxysterols) on the development of atherosclerosis in experimental animals. To address this issue, apolipoprotein (Apo) E-deficient mice were fed a purified diet (AIN-93) or the same purified diet containing 0.2 g cholesterol or 0.2 g oxysterols/kg. The dietary oxysterols had no significant effect on th...
متن کاملStructural determinants of monohydroxylated bile acids to activate beta 1 subunit-containing BK channels.
Lithocholate (LC) (10-300 microM) in physiological solution is sensed by vascular myocyte large conductance, calcium- and voltage-gated potassium (BK) channel beta(1) accessory subunits, leading to channel activation and arterial dilation. However, the structural features in steroid and target that determine LC action are unknown. We tested LC and close analogs on BK channel (pore-forming cbv1+...
متن کاملModulation of the firing activity of female dorsal raphe nucleus serotonergic neurons by neuroactive steroids.
Important gender differences in mood disorders result in a greater susceptibility for women. Accumulating evidence suggests a reciprocal modulation between the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) system and neuroactive steroids. Previous data from our laboratory have shown that during pregnancy, the firing activity of 5-HT neurons increases in parallel with progesterone levels. This study was undertaken...
متن کاملThe sterols of the echinoderm Asterias rubens.
1. Twenty-two sterols were identified in the starfish Asterias rubens (Phylum, Echinodermata; Class, Asteroidea). 2. The major 4-demethyl sterols had a Delta(7) bond and the C(27) compound 5alpha-cholest-7-en-3beta-ol predominated over other mono- and di-unsaturated sterols belonging to the C(26), C(27), C(28) and C(29) series. 3. Small amounts of cholest-5-en-3beta-ol and 5alpha-cholestan-3bet...
