Effect of dihydrocholesterol and beta-sitosterol on cholesterol atherosclerosis in rabbits.

چکیده
While dihydrocholesterol lowered total plasma cholesterol in the rabbit, it did not promote the regression of either the aorta lipid fractions or plaque areas in atherosclerotic animals. A comparative study of the toxicities of /3-sitosterol and dihydrocholesterol disclosed that dihydrocholesterol, fed for a 7 month period, resulted in aorta plaque formation and caused the development of liver cirrhosis. On the other hand, /3-sitosterol produced no toxic effects.

متن کاملEffects of beta-sitosterol on regression of cholesterol atherosclerosis in rabbits.
A MONG the various substances tested on / ^ experimental animals, /3-sitosterol was -L-^found to be one of the most effective in minimizing hypercholesterolemia and in retarding atherosclerotic plaque formation. Very few studies have been done on regression of established hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis. The substances used in regression studies were choline, potassium iodide, and hepa...
متن کاملStudy of steroidal compounds from peel and seed of some pomegranate cultivars (Punica granatum L.) and investigating the effect of pomegranate seed oil on blood lipid levels in hypercholesterolemic rabbits
Background: High level of blood cholesterol can cause diseases such as atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, and increase the chance of apoplexy and fatty liver. Unsaturated fatty acids play important roles in preventing cardiovascular diseases because they decrease total cholesterols and LDL-C in the blood. Objective: The study investigates some sterol compounds of Ira...
متن کاملLM cell growth and membrane lipid adaptation to sterol structure.
Using a sterol auxotroph of the LM cell mouse fibroblast, we demonstrate that relatively few cholesterol analogues can substitute for cholesterol as a growth factor. The auxotroph grows normally on desmosterol and trans-22-dehydrocholesterol and at reduced rates on dihydrocholesterol, campesterol, and 22,23-dihydrobrassicasterol. It does not grow with beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol, ergosterol, ...
متن کاملEffect of aerobic moderate exercise intensity on plasma and aorta homocysteine and 15-F21-isoprostane concentrations in high cholesterol diet-induced atherosclerosis.
Few studies have investigated the effect of exercise on homocysteine and 15-F21-isoprostane in animal models. The present study was designed to examine the effect of long-term exercise and/ or high cholesterol diet on MDA, 15-F21-isoprostane and total homocysteine in the aorta and plasma of rabbits. Methods: 56 male rabbits were divided into four groups: normal diet (control), normal diet wi...
