A study in rodent models showed that phytosterols protected against colon carcinogenesis, probably by inhibiting dysregulated cell cycle progression and inducing cellular apoptosis. However, epidemiological studies on the relationship between phytosterols and colorectal cancer risk are quite

Metabolomic analysis of feces may provide insights on colorectal cancer (CRC) if assay performance is satisfactory. In lyophilized feces from 48 CRC cases, 102 matched controls, and 48 masked quality control specimens, 1043 small molecules were detected with a commercial platform. Assay

Much interest has focused on the cholesterol-lowering effects of phytosterols (plant sterols) but limited data suggests they may also possess anti-carcinogenic activity. Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA), sourced from meat and dairy products of ruminant animals, has also received considerable

A new sterol, stigmast-5-ene-3beta,17alpha-diol (1), together with six known compounds, stigmast-5-ene-3beta-yl formate (2), stigmast-5-ene-3beta,7alpha-diol (3), stigmast-5-ene-7alpha-methoxy-3beta-ol (4), stigmast-5-ene-3-one (5), 3beta-sitostanol (6), and 3beta-sitosterol (7), was isolated from
