Suppression of hypercholesterolemia in hepatoma‐bearing rats by cabbage extract and its component, S‐methyl‐l‐cysteine sulfoxide

Abstract: The effect of cabbage extract on cholesterol metabolism was studied in Donryu rats subcutaneously implanted with an ascites hepatoma cell line (AH109A). The hepatoma-bearing rats exhibited hypercholesterolemia induced by increasing cholesterogenesis in the host liver and decreasing steroid excretion into feces. The cabbage extract intake or administration reduced serum cholesterol level and enhanced fecal bile acid excretion and cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase activity, the rate-limiting enzyme of bile acid bio… Show more

“…Cabbage is one of the most popular Brassica vegetables. Cabbage extracts have been reported to have a variety of biological activities, including anticarcinogenic properties (19,20), suppression of hypercholesterolemia in hepatoma-bearing rats (21), and antiulcerogenic activity (22). Many of these beneficial effects of cabbages have been partly attributed to the high content of organosulfur compounds, including isothiocyanates (23).…”

“…3). The hypocholesterolemic actions of these two sulfur amino acids could be attributed to a restoration of decreased bile acid excretion into feces, like a Cys derivative, S-methyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide (29). In addition to these common actions of the two amino acids, Met restored the decreased HDL-Ch level in the hepatoma-bearing state to the normal level (Fig.…”

“…Sulfone moieties are useful synthetic intermediates for the construction of various chemically and biologically active molecules including drugs, flavors, germicides as well as catabolism regulators [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Various methods for the selective oxidation of sulfides have been developed for this transformation [10][11][12].…”
