Plant sterols and atherosclerosis.

Current opinion in lipidology - 1 Feb 2013

Silbernagel Günther, Genser Bernd, Nestel Paul, März Winfried

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Plant sterols as ingredients to functional foods are recommended for lowering LDL cholesterol. However, there is an ongoing discussion whether the use of plant sterols is safe. RECENT FINDINGS: Genetic analyses showed that common variants of the ATP binding cassette transporter G8 (ABCG8) and ABO genes are associated with elevated circulating plant sterols and higher risk for cardiovascular...
