stigmasterol/옥수수

A liquid chromatography with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated to investigate the pharmacokinetic properties of β-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol in rat plasma. Cholesterol-d6 was used as an internal standard. To avoid

The free sterols, the sterol esters and the sterol glycosides of the raw soya and corn oils as well as those of the technical lecithin and the deodorizer distillated of the latter oils were isolated by preparative TLC. The composition of each of the isolated sterol derivatives was determined by GLC

Kernels were collected from three maize (Zea mays L.) inbreds from 10 days after pollination until kernel maturity. Sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol were the major sterols at all stages of kernel development. Cholesterol was less than 1% of the dry weight. The three major sterols

Although the results of lipid analyses from several plant species have been available for many years a complete characterization of the corn root plasma membrane is still lacking. The present study provides a detailed analysis of individual lipids and a characterization of the membrane fluidity of

Heliothis zea (corn earworm), an insect that fails to synthesize sterols de novo, was reared on an artificial diet treated with 18 different sterol supplements. Larvae did not develop on a sterol-less medium. delta 5-Sterols with a hydrogen atom, a methylene group, an E- or Z-ethylidene group, or an

Previous methods for the quantitative analysis of phytosterols have usually used GC-MS and require elaborate sample preparation including chemical derivatization. Other common methods such as HPLC with absorbance detection do not provide information regarding the identity of the analytes. To address

The conditions for the extraction of phytosterols (campesterol, stigmasterol and β-sitosterol) from vegetal oils were optimized by means of response surface methodology (RSM). A 2⁴ central composite rotatable design (CCRD) was used to investigate the effects of four independent variables:

A partially purified H+-ATPase from the plasma membrane (PM) of corn (Zea mays L.) roots was inserted into vesicles prepared with soybean (Glycine max L.) phospholipids and various concentrations of individual sterols using either a freeze-thaw sonication or an octylglucoside dilution procedure.
