“…Campestanol is a 3-beta-sterol, a hydride derived from 5-alpha-campestane [ 38 ]. Sitostanol is a plant stanol produced from sitosterol that has been demonstrated to lower serum cholesterol levels by limiting cholesterol absorption [ 83 ]. Stigmastanol is a steroid group with a hydroxyl group in C-3 of steroid structure and saturated bond in the fifth and sixth positions of the B-ring.…”

Recent scientific studies have established a relationship between the consumption of phytochemicals such as carotenoids, polyphenols, isoprenoids, phytosterols, saponins, dietary fibers, polysaccharides, etc., with health benefits such as prevention of diabetes, obesity, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, etc. This has led to the popularization of phytochemicals. Nowadays, foods containing phytochemicals as a constituent (functional foods) and the concentrated form of phytochemicals (nutraceuticals) are used as a preventive measure or cure for many diseases. The health benefits of these phytochemicals depend on their purity and structural stability. The yield, purity, and structural stability of extracted phytochemicals depend on the matrix in which the phytochemical is present, the method of extraction, the solvent used, the temperature, and the time of extraction.

“…The central location of the OA and DA synthesis is octopamine- and dopaminergic neurons of the brain, the location of the JH synthesis is the CA gland [ 37 , 38 ]. It has been established that ecdysteroid biosynthesis during development takes place in the prothoracic gland, and the ovaries serve as the main source of ecdysteroids in imagoes [ 21 , 37 , 39 ]; seminal glands also contain ecdysteroids, but there is no sufficient evidence of an entire de novo biosynthesis pathway in this tissue [ 39 ]. In insects, DA and OA play the role of neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft, neuromodulators within the bounds of one tissue, and neurohormones when being transmitted by the flow of the hemolymph to large distances [ 40 ].…”

Response to short-term stress is a fundamental survival mechanism ensuring protection and adaptation in adverse environments. Key components of the neuroendocrine stress reaction in insects are stress-related hormones, including biogenic amines (dopamine and octopamine), juvenile hormone, 20-hydroxyecdysone, adipokinetic hormone and insulin-like peptides. In this review we focus on different aspects of the mechanism of the neuroendocrine stress reaction in insects on the D. melanogaster model, discuss the interaction of components of the insulin/insulin-like growth factors signaling pathway and other stress-related hormones, and suggest a detailed scheme of their possible interaction and effect on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism under short-term heat stress. The effect of short-term heat stress on metabolic behavior and possible regulation of its mechanisms are also discussed here.

Phytochemicals are a broad class of bioactive substances that are produced by plants and can be found in a variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, and herbs. These phytochemicals, which include dietary fibers, polysaccharides, phytosterols, isoprenoids, carotenoids, and saponins, provide a variety of health advantages, including antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory effects. They also have strong antioxidant qualities. This thorough analysis focuses on the several phytochemicals, their origins, and the health benefits that go along with them. Recognizing the variety and advantages of phytochemicals highlights how they might improve human nutrition and health. This article's summary material comes from reliable academic sources such as Pubmed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. This page gives a brief introduction to the many and significant categories of plant-derived bioactive compounds by summarizing the major phytochemical classes, their origins, and their health advantages. Using the advantages of these substances to improve health outcomes points to a viable direction for further study and implementation in the promotion of overall wellness and health. Keywords: Phytochemicals, Carotenoids, Polyphenols, Bioactive compounds, Phytosterols, Saponins
