Metabolic effects of plant sterols and stanols (Review)
TL;DR: In this paper, plant sterols and stanols, which are structurally related to cholesterol, decrease the incorporation of dietary and biliary cholesterol into micelles, which leads to decreased serum LDL cholesterol concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of long-term plant sterol or stanol ester consumption on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in subjects on statin treatment
TL;DR: It is concluded that long-term consumption of both plant sterol and stanol esters effectively lowered LDL-cholesterol concentrations in statin users.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant stanols dose-dependently decrease LDL-cholesterol concentrations, but not cholesterol-standardized fat-soluble antioxidant concentrations, at intakes up to 9 g/d
TL;DR: Daily consumption of plant stanols up to 9 g reduces serum LDL-cholesterol concentrations linearly up to 17.4%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consuming Functional Foods Enriched with Plant Sterol or Stanol Esters for 85 Weeks Does Not Affect Neurocognitive Functioning or Mood in Statin-Treated Hypercholesterolemic Individuals

TL;DR: The present results indicate that long-term use of plant sterols or stanols at recommended intakes of 2.5 g/d does not affect neurocognitive functioning or mood in hypercholesterolemic individuals receiving statin treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term plant stanol and sterol ester-enriched functional food consumption, serum lutein/zeaxanthin concentration and macular pigment optical density.
TL;DR: It is shown that the observed reduction in serum carotenoid concentrations during 18 months consumption of these functional foods does not affect MPOD, despite the differences in both absolute and cholesterol-standardized serum lutein/zeaxanthine concentrations.
