DESCRIPTION
Application
β-Sitosterol has been used:
- to study its ability to improve the suitability of two pollens[1]
- as a standard in the determination of sterol purities[2]
- as a standard in quantitative genetic analysis[3]
- as a standard in the estimation of plant sterols[4]
Packaging
10, 25, 100 mg in glass bottle
Biochem/physiol Actions
A phytosterol with structure very similar to cholesterol that exhibits estrogenic activity. Inhibits proliferation of human leukemia cells, with G2/M arrest, endoreduplication, and polymerization of α-tubulin and microtubules.[5]
Increased β-sitosterol administration displaces cholesterol during absorption. This elevates fecal secretion.[6] It is known to regulate intestinal immunity.[7]
