beta-Sitosterol, normally present in vegetable-containing diets, comprises an important component of cholesterol controlling functional foods. It has been associated with cardiovascular protection, exerting its effect mainly through increasing the antioxidant defense system and effectively lowering
Asthma is a disease marked by chronic lung inflammation and the number of patients suffering from asthma increases annually. Both beta-sitosterol (BS) and beta-sitosterol glucoside exist in a variety of plants and have anti-tumor, anti-microbial, and immunomodulatory activities. However, the precise
In Mexico Agave angustifolia has traditionally been used to treat inflammation. The aim of this study was to measure the anti-inflammatory effect of the extract of A. angustifolia, the isolation and identification of active compounds. From the acetone extract two active fractions were obtained,
Nyctanthes arbortristis Linn. (Oleaceae) is one of the well-known Indian medicinal plant. Various extracts of leaves of the plant were screened for analgesic activity by hot plate test and acetic acid-induced writhings and anti-inflammatory activity by carrageenan-induced hind paw edema method at
β-sitosterol (BSS) is a plant-derived natural bioactive compound, its cellular mechanism of anti-inflammatory activity has been proven recently. Little information is available regarding the application of BSS on ruminants under high grain diet. The objective of this study was to evaluate the
BACKGROUND
Beta-sitosterol (BS) is a compound discovered to be present in numerous plants. A number of interesting biomedical properties have been attributed to BS, including immuno-modulating and anti-inflammatory activities. Therefore, the aim of this report was to evaluate its anti-inflammatory
β-Sitosterol is a well known phytosterol in plants, but owing to its poor solubility in typical media, determining its cellular mechanisms has been proven to be difficult. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of β-sitosterol (BSS) isolated from Moringa oleifera in two cell
Trachelospermum jasminoides (Apocynaceae) has pharmacological effects that include anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-viral activities, which have been observed from various studies. Of these pharmacological effects, the anti-inflammatory capacity of compounds from T. jasminoides is not yet
The objective of the present study was to examine the anti-inflammatory effects of β-sitosterol (SIT), the most common phytosterol in the diet, and to investigate its involvement in NF-κB and STAT1 pathways as potential mechanisms. In addition, the activity of the phosphatase SHP-1 as a negative
The physiological roles of phytosterols in chronic inflammation, which are believed to be involved in the underlying mechanisms for metabolic diseases, have yet to be elucidated. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to elucidate the physiological roles of phytosterols in both clinical studies
In the present study, the efficacy of β-sitosterol isolated from an n-butanol extract of the seeds of the plant Moringa oleifera (Moringaceae) was examined against ovalbumin-induced airway inflammation in guinea pigs. All animals (except group I) were sensitized subcutaneously and challenged with
Neurodegenerative disease is a disease state in which neurons in the spinal cord and brain are lost. Studies show that sustained neuroinflammatory reactions release toxic factors, damage neurons, and lead to neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, inhibiting neuroinflammation may be an effective
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effect of β-sitosterol on ⁴⁵Ca²⁺ uptake in activated murine neutrophils, and upon myeloperoxidase and adenosine deaminase activity, and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels, in carrageenan-induced inflammation in the mouse air pouch
METHODS
β-Sitosterol, a common phytosterol, has been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory effects. Here, we investigated the effect of β-sitosterol on high-fat diet (HFD) induced colitis in mice and on LPS-stimulated mouse intestinal macrophages.
RESULTS
C57BL/6J mice were maintained on an LFD (10
β-Sitosterol (BS), the primary constituent of plants and vegetables, exhibits multiple biological effects.This study explores its effect of immune-regulation on macrophages and its potential for rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
