Sitosterol is a member of the class of phytosterols that is stigmast-5-ene substituted by a beta-hydroxy group at position 3. It has a role as a sterol methyltransferase inhibitor, an anticholesteremic drug, an antioxidant, a plant metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a 3beta-sterol, a stigmastane sterol, a 3beta-hydroxy-Delta(5)-steroid and a member of phytosterols. It derives from a hydride of a stigmastane.|Active fraction of Solanum trilobatum; reduces side-effects of radiation-induced toxicity.
24α-ethyl Cholesterol is a naturally occurring plant sterol with antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, angiogenic, chemopreventive, and immunomodulatory activities. It inhibits the absorption of dietary and endogenously-produced cholesterol from the small intestine, reducing blood cholesterol concentrations. Because of its nutraceutical benefits, 24α-ethyl cholesterol has been used as a food additive intended to lower LDL cholesterol. 24α-ethyl Cholesterol (0.1 -100 μM) can dose-dependently induce adipogenesis and lipolysis in rat primary preadipocytes as well as stimulate glucose uptake in differentiated adipocytes.
