Common NameSterols
DescriptionSterol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 3-hydroxysteroids. These are steroids carrying a hydroxyl group at the 3-position of the steroid backbone. Sterol is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Sterol exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Sterols and related compounds play essential roles in the physiology of eukaryotic organisms. In humans, sterol is involved in the metabolic disorder called the child syndrome pathway. Outside of the human body, Sterol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within sesames and burdocks. Sterol has also been detected, but not quantified in, soft-necked garlics. This could make sterol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Preliminary research has shown that phytosterols may have anticancer effects. The most important zoosterol is cholesterol; notable phytosterols include campesterol, sitosterol, and stigmasterol. The most familiar type of animal sterol is cholesterol, which is vital to cell membrane structure, and functions as a precursor to fat-soluble vitamins and steroid hormones. They are amphipathic lipids synthesized from acetyl-coenzyme A via the HMG-CoA reductase pathway. They are currently approved by the U.S. Sterols was first documented in 2010 (PMID: 20044567). Food and Drug Administration for use as a food supplement; however, there is some concern that they may block absorption not only of cholesterol, but of other important nutrients as well.
