Sterol Composition in Infant Formulas and Estimated Intake.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 63 , 7245-51, (2015)

Sterol contents in infant formulas (IFs) from the European market were determined, and their intakes by infants between 0 and 6 months were evaluated. Total animal sterols (mg/100 mL) ranged from 1.71 to 5.46, cholesterol being the main animal sterol (1.46-5....

An integrated evaluation of molecular marker indices and linear alkylbenzenes (LABs) to measure sewage input in a subtropical estuary (Babitonga Bay, Brazil).

Environ. Pollut. 188 , 71-80, (2014)

Babitonga Bay is a South Atlantic estuary with significant ecological function; it is part of the last remaining areas of mangrove communities in the Southern Hemisphere. The aim of this study was to determine the spatial distribution of the faecal sterols an...

Serum plant sterols, cholestanol, and cholesterol precursors associate with histological liver injury in pediatric onset intestinal failure.

Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 100(4) , 1085-94, (2014)

Increased serum concentrations of plant sterols, including stigmasterol, during parenteral nutrition (PN) have been linked with serum biochemical signs of intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD), whereas clinical data on their correlation to histo...

Determination of Geochemically Important Sterols and Triterpenols in Sediments Using Ultrahigh-Performance Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS).

Anal. Chem. 87 , 7771-8, (2015)

A fast, sensitive, and selective ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method that is able to quantify geochemical biomarkers in sediment is described. A pool of 10 sterols, which can be used as biomarkers of autoc...

Polyneuropathy in cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis and response to treatment with chenodeoxycholic acid.

J. Neurol. 260(1) , 268-74, (2013)

Polyneuropathy has been reported in cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX), although its nature and possible association with certain genotypes and phenotypes are unclear. The effect of chronic administration of chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) on peripheral nerve ...

Long-term bone density evaluation in cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis: evidence of improvement after chenodeoxycholic acid treatment.

Calcif. Tissue Int. , (2012)

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is known to be associated with osteoporosis and a higher incidence of bone fractures. However, the underlying pathogenesis is still unknown, and the effects of long-term replacement therapy with chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA...

A state-wide survey in Oregon (USA) of trace metals and organic chemicals in municipal effluent.

Sci. Total Environ. 417-418 , 263-72, (2012)

Oregon's Senate Bill 737, enacted in 2007, required the state's 52 largest municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) and water pollution control facilities (WPCF) to collect effluent samples in 2010 and analyze them for persistent organic pollutants. These...

Patterns of cholesterol metabolism: pathophysiological and therapeutic implications for dyslipidemias and the metabolic syndrome.

Nutr. Metab. Cardiovasc. Dis. 21(9) , 620-7, (2011)

Investigating cholesterol metabolism, which derives from balancing cholesterol synthesis and absorption, opens new perspectives in the pathogenesis of dyslipidemias and the metabolic syndrome (MS). Cholesterol metabolism is studied by measuring plasma levels ...

Effect of dalcetrapib, a CETP modulator, on non-cholesterol sterol markers of cholesterol homeostasis in healthy subjects

Atherosclerosis 219(2) , 761-7, (2011)

Objective Subjects with high HDL-C show elevated plasma markers of cholesterol absorption and reduced markers of cholesterol synthesis. We evaluated the effect of dalcetrapib, a cholesteryl ester transfer protein modulator, on markers of cholesterol homeostas...

Vertical distribution of pharmaceuticals in lake sediments-citalopram as potential chemomarker.

Environ. Toxicol. Chem. 31(8) , 1738-44, (2012)

The use of pharmaceuticals has increased enormously over the last few decades and serious concerns about their environmental fate and effects have arisen. Thus far, there is little knowledge about the historical pollution of the environment by pharmaceuticals...
