Words similar to sitosterolemic

Example sentences for: sitosterolemic

How can you use “sitosterolemic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

In sitosterolemic patients, the absorption of phytosterols in intestine is dramatically increased, with absorption of plant sterols to about the same extent (~60%) as cholesterol.
Such lines will be useful in demonstrating that the variant sterolin-1 protein is responsible for causing sitosterolemia, but will allow comparisons between animals that are hypertensive and those that are hypertensive and sitosterolemic.
We sequenced the STSL loci in sitosterolemic and control rat strains and identified a number of nucleotide changes.
All of these strains are homozygous mutant for Gly583Cys in sterolin-1, encoded by Abcg5 . This mutation is not present in rats that were not sitosterolemic, even though one of these was hypertensive (the GH rat).
Recent linkage mapping studies mapped hypertension QTLs to a number of chromosomal regions in SHR and SHRSP rats [ 35 ] . Our FISH study assigned the STSL locus rat chromosome 6q12, a region where a cluster of blood pressure QTL with Lod score 4~6 has been reported to be present (M6MIT12-M6MIT3, 39 cM distance) in a New Zealand genetically hypertensive rat (GH rat) [ 35 ] . With respect to hypertension, although the SHR and SHRSP strains carry the Gly583Cys mutation, in extensive QTL mapping studies using these strains, no loci mapping to the rat STSL region have been reported [ 35 ] . In our study, the GH rat is neither sitosterolemic, nor has any nucleotide alteration at the STSL locus that would implicate this region as mutated.
