- Sterols, also known as steroid alcohols,
are a subgroup of the steroids and an important class of organic
molecules.
- They occur naturally in plants, animals,
and fungi, with the most familiar type of animal sterol being
cholesterol. Cholesterol is vital to cellular function, and a
precursor to fat-soluble vitamins and steroid hormones.
- Sterols of plants are called phytosterols
and sterols of animals are called zoosterols.
- Important zoosterols are cholesterol;
notable phytosterols include campesterol,
sitosterol, and stigmasterol.
- Ergosterol is a sterol present in the cell
membrane of fungi,
where it serves a role similar to cholesterol in animal cells.
- Sterols and related compounds play
essential roles in the physiology of eukaryotic
organisms. For example, cholesterol forms part of the cellular
membrane in animals,
where it affects the cell membrane's fluidity and serves as
secondary messenger in
developmental signaling.
- In humans and other animals,
corticosteroids, such as cortisol
act as signaling compounds in cellular communication and general
metabolism.
- Plant sterols and stanols are naturally
occurring substances found in plants. They are present in small
quantities in many fruits, vegetables, vegetable oils, nuts, seeds,
cereals and legumes.
- Very high doses of sterols have been
reported to cause occasional constipation or diarrhea. High doses
have also been shown to reduce cholesterol.
- Sterols may be found either as free
sterols, acylated (sterol esters), alkylated (steryl alkyl ethers),
sulfated (sterol sulfate), or linked to a glycoside moiety (steryl
glycosides) which can be itself acylated (acylated sterol
glycosides).
- Sterol biosynthesis is nearly ubiquitous
among eukaryotes, it is almost completely absent in prokaryotes.
They are not found in Archaea and the proven occurrences in bacteria
are sparsely distributed and yield a limited array of products.
- "The US market is one of the last
major markets to get on this wave."
- After hovering in the $50-55 million range
in 2001-03, ACNielsen pegged the total market for products with
plant sterol claims sold through FDM channels at $66 million in 2004
and $93 million for the year ended August 2005 — up 28 per cent and
41 per cent, respectively.
