Plant sterols and stanols: effects on mixed micellar composition and LXR (target gene) activation
Journal of Lipid Research, 2005 Plant stanols and sterols of the 4-desmethyl family (e.g., sitostanol and sitosterol) effectively decrease LDL cholesterol concentrations, whereas 4,4-dimethylsterols (α-amyrin and lupeol) do not.
