Does Beer Contain Compounds That Might Interfere with Cholesterol Metabolism?
Robert Muller, Sam Walker, John Brauer1 and Maria Junquera
Abstract
J. Inst. Brew. 113(1), 102–109, 2007
Elevated blood cholesterol is a problem for many people. Although
a significant proportion of this cholesterol arises from
metabolism within the body, approximately 50% comes from
our diet. Certain plant sterols (phytosterols) are known to inhibit
the absorption of this dietary cholesterol by the human body, and
there are now several commercially available food products that
contain these phytosterols. Barley malt, yeast and hops also
contain phytosterols or similar materials that might potentially
act as inhibitors of cholesterol uptake but this effect has not been
studied. In this work we examine one aspect of the potential for
competition between cholesterol and selected beer components
when binding to a protein. The method used was ligand docking.
This uses computer modeling to examine the binding energies
expected when the ligand (e.g. cholesterol or analogue) binds to
a protein. The two proteins examined were both natural cholesterol
binding proteins. The cholesterol analogues, sitosterol
(from barley) and ergosterol (from yeast), had similar binding
energies to cholesterol and thus had potential for competition.
Other molecules (iso-xanthohumol, 8-prenylnaringenin (8PN)
and iso-humulone) had lower binding energies suggesting that
they would not compete effectively. Standard beers normally
contain very low levels of either sitosterol or ergosterol, although
some wheat beers that contain high levels of yeast may
contain elevated levels of ergosterol. We have also developed a
beer that contains elevated levels of sitosterol by incorporating
whole grain material. The level of -sitosterol in these beers was
still very low and even a whole grain beer would not contain
sufficient of the cholesterol analogues to completely inhibit cholesterol
uptake or transport.
Key words: Binding energy cholesterol, ergosterol, protein,
sitosterol.
