Description:Lathosterol is a sterol that belongs to the group of metabolites of cholesterol. It has been found to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and phase transition temperature. Lathosterol is synthesized in liver cells from acetate by an enzyme called 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase. Lathosterol has been shown to inhibit the activity of this enzyme, which could lead to hepatic steatosis and hypercholesterolemia in rats. Lathosterol also inhibits the transcription of enzymes related to cholesterol synthesis and decreases ATP binding cassette transporter expression in rat liver microsomes.
