Serum non-cholesterol sterol markers in subjects with kidney disease.
| Sitosterol | Campesterol | Cholestanol | Lathosterol | Desmosterol | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dullaart, 1996 [93] | Cases (n = 11) | 0.99 ± 0.43 | ↓ | ||||||
| Controls (n = 22) | 1.29 ± 0.41 | ||||||||
| Rogacev, 2012 [94] | Cases (n = 113) | 2.40 | ↑ | 1.25 | ↓ | ||||
| Controls (n = 229) | 1.25 | 1.40 |
Values are mean ± SD and expressed in μmol/mmoL cholesterol. In case absolute concentrations were reported, only TC-standardized means were calculated. Non-cholesterol markers are lower (↓) or higher (↑) in cases compared to control, comparable between cases and controls (=) or not statistically tested (blank).
