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.

Sterol content in sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus L.) as affected by genotypes and environmental conditions [PDF]

, 2010
Phytosterols play essential roles in many plant cell mechanisms. They are of industrial interest since, as part of the diet, they can reduce Low Density Lipoprotein cholesterol.

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.

The relationships of cholesterol metabolism and plasma plant sterols with the severity of coronary artery disease1s⃞

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
Changes in the balance of cholesterol absorption and synthesis and moderately elevated plasma plant sterols have been suggested to be atherogenic. Measuring cholestanol, lathosterol, campesterol, and sitosterol, we investigated the relationships of ...

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 ...
