Description

General description

Brassicasterol is a plant sterol, sharing similar structure with cholesterol. It is obtained through the dietary sources, including sea food.

Application

• Deciphering the effect of phytosterols on Alzheimer′s disease and Parkinson′s disease: the mediating role of lipid profiles: This research demonstrates the neuroprotective potential of phytosterols, including Brassicasterol, in modulating lipid profiles to mitigate symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer′s and Parkinson′s (Guo et al., 2024).


• Liposomal Phytosterols as LDL-Cholesterol-Lowering Agents in Diet-Induced Hyperlipidemia: Discusses the effectiveness of Brassicasterol and other phytosterols encapsulated in liposomes for reducing LDL cholesterol, showcasing a potential therapeutic approach in hyperlipidemia management (Poudel et al., 2023).


• Sterol Regulation of Development and 20-Hydroxyecdysone Biosynthetic and Signaling Genes in Drosophila melanogaster: Highlights the role of Brassicasterol in regulating developmental and hormonal pathways in model organisms, suggesting implications for developmental biology studies (Wen et al., 2023).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Brassica sterol in cerebrospinal fluid might serve as an indicator for Alzheimer′s disease. It is found in rapeseed oil. Brassicasterol is thus, useful in identifying brassica oil and contamination of rapeseed and canola oil in others. Plant sterols can penetrate through the blood brain barrier.
