Phytosterols in low- and nonfat beverages as part of a controlled diet fail to lower plasma lipid levels

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003
Dietary phytosterols have been shown to reduce plasma cholesterol concentrations when consumed in different food matrices, but their effectiveness in nonfat or low-fat beverages has not been established. The objective of this study was to examine whether

Cofactor engineering to regulate NAD+/NADH ratio with its application to phytosterols biotransformation

Microbial Cell Factories, 2017
Background Cofactor engineering is involved in the modification of enzymes related to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides (NADH and NAD+) metabolism, which results in a significantly altered spectrum of metabolic products.

Phytosterols in the Treatment of Hypercholesterolemia and Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia
Phytosterols are bioactive compounds found in foods of plant origin, which can be divided into plant sterols and plant stanols. Clinical studies consistently indicate that the intake of phytosterols (2 g/day) is associated with a significant reduction (8-

Natural Dietary Phytosterols

Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL, 2015
Abstract Most clinical phytosterol studies are performed by adding purified supplements to smaller phytosterol amounts present in the natural diet. However, natural dietary phytosterols themselves may also have important effects on cholesterol metabolism. Epidemiological work using food frequency questionnaires to estimate dietary intake

Anticancer effects of phytosterols [PDF]

European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2009
Phytosterol and stanol (or phytosterols) consumption reduces intestinal cholesterol absorption, leading to decreased blood LDL-cholesterol levels and lowered cardiovascular disease risk. However, other biological roles for plant sterols and stanols have also been proposed.

Genetic inactivation of NPC1L1 protects against sitosterolemia in mice lacking ABCG5/ABCG8

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
Mice lacking Niemann-Pick C1-Like 1 (NPC1L1) (NPC1L1−/−mice) exhibit a defect in intestinal absorption of cholesterol and phytosterols. However, wild-type (WT) mice do not efficiently absorb and accumulate phytosterols either.
