Environmental hormesis, a fundamental non-monotonic biological phenomenon with implications in ecotoxicology and environmental safety (2018, background): “…within the context of environmental hormesis would be valuable since they are major players in plant stress and important for human nutrition and medicine (Piironen et al., 2000; Kintzios, 2006; Hadacek et al., 2011; Döring et al., 2013; Karabourniotis et al., 2014; D’Angiolillo et al., 2015).”
Sterols in microorganisms (2002, background): “The sterols are usually reduced to the stanols (sterols saturated at C-5) since these are equally effective in lowering plasma cholesterol and do not cause an increase in plasma levels unlike the sterols which can be detected in plasma (Piironen et al. 2000).”
The contribution of wheat to human diet and health (2015, background): “The major plant 4- desmethyl sterols have a Δ5 double bond in the B ring and modifications at the C24 position in the side chain (Piironen et al. 2000).”
