Long-term plant stanol and sterol ester-enriched functional food consumption, serum lutein/zeaxanthin concentration and macular pigment optical density.
Observational epidemiological studies have shown that low carotenoid intake and/or low carotenoid blood levels increase the risk of degenerative diseases like age-related macular degeneration. Functional foods enriched with plant sterol or stanol esters may lower serum concentrations of fat-soluble carotenoids. Theoretically, as a result the macular pigment optical density (MPOD), a marker for ...
متن کاملConsumption Habits of Low-Fat Plant Sterol-Enriched Yoghurt Enriched with Phytosterols
Abstract—The increasing interest in plant sterol enriched foods is due to the fact that they reduce blood cholesterol concentrations without adverse side effects. In this context, enriched foods with phytosterols may be helpful in protecting population against atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the present work was to evaluate in a population of Viseu, Portugal, the consump...
متن کاملConsumption of plant sterols in Belgium: consumption patterns of plant sterol-enriched foods in Flanders, Belgium.
The present study describes the consumption of foods enriched with plant sterols (PS) and supplements containing PS, and evaluates PS intakes via the current consumption and for specific consumption scenarios. A market inventory was performed to collate different PS-enriched food items and supplements available in Belgium. An FFQ was developed to investigate the consumption of PS-enriched foods...
متن کاملStearate-enriched plant sterol esters lower serum LDL cholesterol concentration in normo- and hypercholesterolemic adults.
Studies in our laboratory have previously demonstrated in hamsters a superior cholesterol-lowering ability of plant sterol (PS) esters enriched in stearate compared with linoleate. We therefore conducted a randomized, double-blind, 2-group parallel, placebo-controlled study to test the cholesterol-lowering properties of stearate-enriched PS esters in normo- and hypercholesterolemic adults. Thir...
متن کاملRole of plant stanol ester- and sterol ester-enriched margarines in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia
The effects of plant stanol esters or sterol esters on serum lipids and lipoprotein lipids, serum fatsoluble vitamins and carotenoids, serum cholesterol precursors as well as serum plant sterols and stanols were examined in mildly or moderately hypercholesterolemic men and women. Study I/II utilized a parallel study design, studies III/IV and V involved a repeated measures design. In study I/II...
