Coprostanol {90000120} Record Keys Parent:[ ] Definition:Coprostanol Queue:[ ] Details Initialisation date:2021-01-13 Specification: Metabolite of CholesterolSource: [ ] Meta Information Structural Type:Lipid Functional Type:[ ] Function:[ ] Notes: [ ]Shared Reference Notes [1.1] - #Clostridia can metabolise #Cholesterol to coprostanol, which escapes hepatic recirculation as it is not reabsorbed by colonocytes. [1.2] - #Lactobacillus to lower plasma #Cholesterol levels may be due partly to the enhanced #Bile Salt hydrolase activity this genus exhibits, as well as the ability to convert #Cholesterol to coprostanol, both leading to an impairment of #Cholesterol absorption in the intestine. [1.3] - Certain strains within the #Eubacterium coprostanoligenes possess steroid-metabolizing abilities, participating in #Cholesterol metabolism and converting #Cholesterol into the #Cholesterol degradation product, coprostanol. - potential causal relationship between the #Eubacterium coprostanoligenes, #Eubacterium fissicatena, and #Psoriasis risk.References Notes[ ]
