Abstract Title:
β-Sitosterol regulated microRNAs in endothelial cells against an oxidized low-density lipoprotein.
Abstract:
β-Sitosterol is a natural compound widely found in many vegetable oils, nuts, and plant medicines; it lowers the cholesterol levels, enhances the production of plasminogen activators, and exhibits anticancer and antiatherogenic effects. However, the direct endothelial protection of β-sitosterol against an oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) is not well understood. In the present study, β-sitosterol significantly inhibited cell apoptosis (P
