Phytosterols, Phytostanols, and Lipoprotein Metabolism
The efficacy of phytosterols and phytostanols added to foods and food supplements to obtain significant non-pharmacologic serum and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol reduction is well documented. Irrespective of age, gender, ethnic background, body weight, background diet, or the cause of hypercholesterolemia and, even added to statin treatment, phytosterols and phytostanols at 2 g/day ...
متن کاملGenome size variation in diploid and tetraploid wild wheats
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Intra- and interspecific variations of C-values and the relationship between habitat factors and genome size were studied in natural populations of diploid and tetraploid wild wheats. METHODOLOGY The 1C nuclear DNA content of 376 individual plants representing 41 populations of diploid and tetraploid wild wheats was determined by flow cytometry (FCM) and correlated with ge...
متن کاملPhytosterols and phytostanols: is it time to rethink that supplemented margarine?
For many years now it has generally been accepted that mechanisms leading to a decrease in serum cholesterol lead to a decrease in atherogenesis. Hence, for many years, the use of phytosterols and -stanols, molecules from plant cell membranes resembling cholesterol, has been advocated as a safe and efficient dietary adduct lowering serum LDL cholesterol. Just like zoosterols, phytosterols are t...
متن کاملFunctionality of chemically modified wild-type, partial waxy and waxy starchesfrom tetraploid wheats
Partial waxy (reduced-amylose) and fully waxy (amylose-free) tetraploid durum wheats (Triticum turgidum L. var durum) were developed by introgression of null alleles at the Wx-A1 and Wx-B1 loci from common hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Purified starches were obtained from each genotype, and chemically modified by: 1) cross-linking with phosphorus oxychloride, 2) substitution with prop...
متن کاملGenome Wide Association Mapping for Arabinoxylan Content in a Collection of Tetraploid Wheats
BACKGROUND Arabinoxylans (AXs) are major components of plant cell walls in bread wheat and are important in bread-making and starch extraction. Furthermore, arabinoxylans are components of soluble dietary fibre that has potential health-promoting effects in human nutrition. Despite their high value for human health, few studies have been carried out on the genetics of AX content in durum wheat....
