| Application: | Stigmasterol was used as a reference standard in determination of phytosterols in dietary supplements by gas chromatography and in frozen leaf samples of Arabidopsis thaliana by GC/MS. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Stigmasterol is a phytosterol with chemical structure similar to cholesterol. It exhibits anti-cancer, anti-pyretic, anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating effects. Stigmasterol decreases the expression of matrix metalloproteinases and reduced the degradation of cartilage in osteoarthritic rabbits. |
