The intake of soy phytosterols possess hypotriacylglycerolaemic properties and cholesterol-lowering properties – British journal of nutrition

Various human trials and pre-clinical studies have suggested that dietary plant sterols possess hypotriacylglycerolaemic properties apart from their cholesterol-lowering properties. We hypothesised that phytosterols (PA) might attenuate triacylglycerolaemia by interfering with the deleterious effects of cholesterol overload in the liver. In the present study, twenty hamsters with diet-induced combined hyperlipidaemia were fed a high-fat diet […]
