Serum, liver and bile sitosterol and sitostanol in obese patients with and without NAFLD.

Only registered users can translate articles

Background and aims: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) associates with low levels of serum plant sterols in cross-sectional studies. In addition, it has been suggested that the hepatic sterol transport mechanisms are altered in NAFLD. Therefore, we investigated the association between serum,

Sitosterol prevents obesity-related chronic inflammation.

Only registered users can translate articles

The physiological roles of phytosterols in chronic inflammation, which are believed to be involved in the underlying mechanisms for metabolic diseases, have yet to be elucidated. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to elucidate the physiological roles of phytosterols in both clinical studies

Comment on Tauriainen et al.: Serum, liver and bile sitosterol and sitostanol in obese patients with and without NAFLD.

This short article provides a comment on the recent article by Tauriainen et al. [Bioscience Reports (2018) 38, BSR20171274 https://doi.org/10.1042/BSR20171274].

Diet enrichment with calcium and magnesium enhances the cholesterol-lowering effect of plant sterols in obese Zucker rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Recent clinical studies have demonstrated that plant sterols moderately lower serum cholesterol levels in patients with mild hypercholesterolemia. Furthermore, there is evidence suggesting that mineral nutrients, such as calcium and magnesium, may also decrease serum cholesterol

Elevated serum squalene and cholesterol synthesis markers in pregnant obese women with gestational diabetes mellitus.

Only registered users can translate articles

We examined serum cholesterol synthesis and absorption markers and their association with neonatal birth weight in obese pregnancies affected by gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Pregnant women at risk for GDM (BMI >30 kg/m²) were enrolled from maternity clinics in Finland. GDM was determined

β-Sitosterol-2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex: Characterization and inhibitory effect on adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes.

Only registered users can translate articles

β-Sitosterol (Sit) has been used as a functional food additive. Among its many beneficial effects, this phytosterol plays a role in controlling obesity by inhibiting the adipogenesis process of pre-adipocytes. However, the highly lipophilic character of Sit limits its bioavailability. In the present

Galectin-12 is Involved in Corn Silk-Induced Anti-Adipogenesis and Anti-Obesity Effects.

Only registered users can translate articles

Obesity is a significant risk factor for various diseases. It is a clinical condition caused by the excessive accumulation of fat, which has a negative impact on human health. Galactin-12 is an adipocyte-expressed protein and possesses adipocyte-inducing activity. We investigated the expression

Influence of Chitosan Treatment on Surrogate Serum Markers of Cholesterol Metabolism in Obese Subjects.

Only registered users can translate articles

Chitosan treatment results in significantly lower serum low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations. To assess the working mechanisms of chitosan, we measured serum surrogate markers of cholesterol absorption (campesterol, sitosterol, cholestanol), synthesis (lathosterol, lanosterol,

β-Sitosterol Shows Potential to Protect Against the Development of High-Fructose Diet-Induced Metabolic Dysfunction in Female Rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a combination of risk factors that include insulin resistance, obesity, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. The consumption of high-fructose diets contributes to the development of MetS. β-sitosterol a naturally occurring phytosterol possesses antiobesogenic and

Cholesterol metabolism after bariatric surgery in grade 3 obesity: differences between malabsorptive and restrictive procedures.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Malabsorptive bariatric surgery (biliopancreatic diversion and biliointestinal bypass [BIBP]) reduces serum cholesterol levels more than restrictive surgery (adjustable gastric banding [AGB]), and this is thought to be due to greater weight loss. Our aim was to evaluate the changes of

Antiobesity effect of Stellaria media against drug induced obesity in Swiss albino mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

The whole plant of Stellaria media (family: Caryophyllaceae) has been tested for its antiobesity activity by using progesterone-induced obesity model in female albino mice. The effect of S. media on food consumption pattern, change in body weight, thermogenesis, lipid metabolism, and histology of

ATP-binding cassette transporter G8 gene as a determinant of apolipoprotein B-100 kinetics in overweight men.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE We examined the influence of genetic variation of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter G8 on apolipoprotein B (apoB) kinetics in overweight/obese men. RESULTS Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) apoB kinetics were determined in 47 men (body mass

Effects of calcium and plant sterols on serum lipids in obese Zucker rats on a low-fat diet.

Only registered users can translate articles

Ca may interfere with fat and cholesterol metabolism through formation of insoluble soaps with fatty and bile acids in the intestine. In the present study, we examined the effects of different dietary Ca levels on the serum lipid profile and cholesterol metabolism in obese Zucker rats fed a low-fat

Triterpene alcohols and sterols from rice bran lower postprandial glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide release and prevent diet-induced obesity in mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Obesity is now a worldwide health problem. Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is a gut hormone that is secreted following the ingestion of food and modulates energy metabolism. Previous studies reported that lowering diet-induced GIP secretion improved energy homeostasis in animals

Beneficial effects of β-sitosterol on type 1 cholecystokinin receptor dysfunction induced by elevated membrane cholesterol.

Only registered users can translate articles

The type 1 cholecystokinin receptor (CCK1R) mediates the actions of CCK to support nutritional homeostasis, including post-cibal satiety. However, elevated levels of membrane cholesterol, such as have been observed in metabolic syndrome, interfere with CCK stimulus-activity coupling at the CCK1R,
