Journal ArticleDOI
Modulation of plasma lipid levels and cholesterol kinetics by phytosterol versus phytostanol esters
Peter B. Jones,Mahmoud Raeini-Sarjaz,Fady Y. Ntanios,Catherine A. Vanstone,Jian Y. Feng,William E. Parsons +5 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that plant sterol and stanol esters differentially lower circulating total and LDL cholesterol levels by suppression of cholesterol absorption in hypercholesterolemic subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary phytosterols as cholesterol-lowering agents in humans.
TL;DR: In conclusion, addition to diet of the phytosterol sitostanol represents an effective means of improving circulating lipid profiles to reduce risk of coronary heart disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cholesterol-lowering efficacy of a sitostanol-containing phytosterol mixture with a prudent diet in hyperlipidemic men
TL;DR: Addition of blended phytosterols to a prudent North American diet improved plasma LDL-cholesterol concentrations by mechanisms that did not result in significant changes in endogenous cholesterol synthesis in hypercholesterolemic men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unesterified plant sterols and stanols lower LDL-cholesterol concentrations equivalently in hypercholesterolemic persons
TL;DR: The data indicate that, in their free unesterified form, sterols and stanols lower plasma LDL cholesterol equivalently in hypercholesterolemic persons by suppressing cholesterol absorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Different Dosages of Oral Vitamin D Supplementation on Vitamin D Status in Healthy, Breastfed Infants: A Randomized Trial
Sina Gallo,Kathryn Comeau,Catherine A. Vanstone,Sherry Agellon,Atul Sharma,Glenville Jones,Mary R. L’Abbé,Ali Khamessan,Celia Rodd,Hope A. Weiler +9 more
TL;DR: Among healthy, term, breastfed infants, only a vitamin D supplement dosage of 1600 IU/d increased plasma 25(OH)D concentration to 75 nmol/L or greater in 97.5% of infants at 3 months and sustained this in 98% (95% CI, 94%-100%) to 12 months.
