Journal of Lipid Research, 2000 We measured the percent absorption, turnover, and distribution of campestanol (24-methyl-5α-cholestan-3β-ol) in a sitosterolemic homozygote, her obligate heterozygous mother, and three healthy human control subjects.

Serum plant sterols and biliary cholesterol secretion in humans
Journal of Lipid Research, 2002 Ratios of cholestanol, campesterol, and sitosterol to cholesterol in serum are known to reflect cholesterol absorption efficiency. Here, a possible link between these ratios and biliary secretion rates of cholesterol was investigated.

Inhibition of cholesterol absorption by the combination of dietary plant sterols and ezetimibe
Journal of Lipid Research, 2005 Consumption of plant sterols and treatment with ezetimibe both reduce cholesterol absorption in the intestine. However, the mechanism of action differs between the two treatments, and the consequences of combination treatment are unknown.

Metabolism of β-sitosterol in man [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1970 The metabolism of beta-sitosterol was compared to that of cholesterol in 12 patients. Sterol balance methods were supplemented by radiosterol studies, with the following results. (a) Plasma concentrations of beta-sitosterol ranged from 0.30 to 1.02 mg/100 ml plasma in patients on intakes of beta-sitosterol typical of the American diet.

ABCG5 and ABCG8 require MDR2 for secretion of cholesterol into bile
Journal of Lipid Research, 2005 The major pathway for the removal of cholesterol from the body is via secretion into the bile. Three members of the ATP binding cassette (ABC) family, ABCG5 (G5), ABCG8 (G8), and ABCB4 (MDR2), are required for the efficient biliary export of sterols ...
