Phytosterol Enriched Food Supplements for Plasma LDL-Cholesterol Lowering: Yes or No?

2025-01-23

Abstract excerpt

Elevated plasma LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) is associated with an increased risk for atherosclerosis and development of cardiovascular disease. Elevated plasma LDL-C concentration is the result of enhanced C synthesis, C absorption and/or altered C homeostasis. Plasma LDL-C lowering can be achieved using pharmaceutical means. Statin therapy inhibits endogenous C synthesis and leads to a mean 40% LDL-C reduction. Ezeti...
