Phytosterols: to be or not to be toxic; that is the question [PDF]

British Journal of Nutrition, 2008
Plant sterols (phytosterols) are membrane constituents of all plants with a structure analogous to that of cholesterol. Thus, phytosterols have either an additional methyl or ethyl group on the carbon-24 position or an additional double bond in the side chain (1) .
