Could Lowering Phytosterol Absorption as Part of Lipid-Lowering Therapy Have a Beneficial Effect on Residual Risk?

Metabolites, 2023
Plant sterols are molecules that are structurally similar to cholesterol and provided only as dietary sources (e.g., vegetables, fruits, nuts, cereals) since they cannot be synthesized by humans.

Down-regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis in sitosterolemia: diminished activities of acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase, reductase, squalene synthase, and 7-dehydrocholesterol Δ7-reductase in liver and mononuclear leukocytes

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
Sitosterolemia is a recessively inherited disorder characterized by abnormally increased plasma and tissue plant sterol concentrations. Patients have markedly reduced whole body cholesterol biosynthesis associated with suppressed hepatic, ileal, and ...
