Plant sterols in food: no consensus in guidelines.

Abstract:

:Plant sterols are supplemented in foods to reduce cardiovascular risk. Randomized controlled trials show 2 g of plant sterols a day reduce serum cholesterol by about 10%. This reduction in serum cholesterol levels is achieved at the expense of increased serum plant sterol levels. Findings in patients with phytosterolemia, in experimental studies and in clinical trials have lead to speculations that plant sterols might be atherogenic. In view of emerging safety issues the role of plant sterols in cardiovascular prevention has become controversial. This review reflects the ongoing controversial scientific debate and points out recent developments in guidelines of national and international societies.

  • Alpha 2-antiplasmin's carboxy-terminal lysine residue is a major site of interaction with plasmin.

    abstract::alpha 2-Antiplasmin (AP) inhibits plasmin in a two-step reaction in which AP reversibly binds to lysine-binding sites of plasmin and, then, more slowly complexes covalently with the enzyme's active site. Here, we show that the C-terminal lysine residue of AP has a key role in binding of the inhibitor to plasmin. A syn...
