Beta-sitosterol is a lipid of Sterol Lipids (ST) class. Beta-sitosterol is associated with abnormalities such as Obesity, Diabetes, Cholestasis, Systemic disease and Diabetes Mellitus. The involved functions are known as Increased Cholesterol Synthesis, Synthesis, cholesterol metabolism, GLUCOSE TOLERANCE and cholesterol absorption. Beta-sitosterol often locates in Blood, Back, Cell membrane, soluble fraction and Body tissue. The related lipids are Sterols, lathosterol, Total cholesterol, campesterol and Cholestanes.
To understand associated biological information of Beta-sitosterol, we collected biological information of abnormalities, associated pathways, cellular/molecular locations, biological functions, related genes/proteins, lipids and common seen animal/experimental models with organized paragraphs from literatures.
Beta-sitosterol is suspected in Obesity, Cholestasis, Diabetes, Systemic disease, Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin-Dependent and other diseases in descending order of the highest number of associated sentences.
