How unsaturated fatty acids and plant stanols affect sterols plasma level and cellular membranes? Review on model studies involving the Langmuir monolayer technique.

TL;DR: Both UFAs and plant sterols/stanols were found to loosen interactions between DPPC and cholesterol and decrease membrane rigidity caused by the excess cholesterol in biomembrane, thus compensating strong condensing effect of cholesterol and restoring proper membrane fluidity, which is of utmost importance for normal cells functioning.

Accumulation of Dietary Cholesterol in Sitosterolemia Caused by Mutations in Adjacent ABC Transporters

TL;DR: Data suggest that ABCG5 and ABCG8 normally cooperate to limit intestinal absorption and to promote biliary excretion of sterols, and that mutated forms of these transporters predispose to sterol accumulation and atherosclerosis.
