Genotype and Environment Affect Phytosterol Content and Composition of Wheat

2009-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Phytosterols (PS) lower low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels by as much as 10-14% in normal and hypercholesteromic people. High LDL levels in the blood are associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease. Wheat germ and bran contain significant amounts of PS. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of genotype and environment on PS content and composition in whole wheat grain. Prote...
