Sammanfattning : Phytosterols are lipid components of all food items of plant origin. They are effective in decreasing plasma cholesterol concentrations, but have also been suggested to protect against colorectal cancer. LÄS MER
2. Studies of sterol 12alpha-hydroxylase (CYP8B1) : distribution and role for cholesterol homeostasis and gallstone formation
Sammanfattning : Bile acids are essential physiological molecules which carry out multiple functions such as facilitating the absorption of dietary lipids and regulating the metabolism of cholesterol and bile acids. The formation of bile represents the major route for elimination of excess cholesterol, either by conversion of cholesterol into bile acids or excretion of intact cholesterol in mixed micelles.

3. Studies on the regulatory roles of cholesterol and bile acids
Sammanfattning : Cholesterol is essential for normal growth and development in mammals. However, excess cholesterol can be harmful leading to diseases such as atherosclerosis and gallstones. Once formed the ring structure of cholesterol cannot be catabolised by the body and must therefore be converted to other compounds for excretion. LÄS MER
4. Studies on the regulatory role of cholic acid in cholesterol metabolism
Sammanfattning : Cholesterol is essential for normal growth and development in both man and mouse. However, excess cholesterol can be harmful leading to diseases such as atherosclerosis and gallstones. Once formed cholesterol cannot be catabolised by the body and must therefore be converted to other compounds for excretion. LÄS MER
