No association between plasma levels of plant sterols and atherosclerosis in mice and men.
OBJECTIVE Sitosterolemia is characterized by elevated plasma levels of plant sterols, hypercholesterolemia and premature coronary heart disease (CHD). CHD develops in some subjects with sitosterolemia, despite having normal plasma cholesterol levels, suggesting that high circulating levels of plant sterols may be atherogenic. We tested whether elevated plasma levels of plant sterols (sitosterol...

متن کاملSerum plant sterols and atherosclerosis: is there a place for statin-ezetimibe combination?
We read with interest the paper by Miettinen et al. (1) demonstrating that the higher the absorption of cholesterol, the higher the plant sterol contents are in serum resulting in their higher contents in atherosclerotic plaque. The prospective Cardiovascular Munster (PROCAM) study found that people in the upper quartile of sitosterol levels had a 1.8-fold increased risk of major coronary event...
متن کاملIncreased plasma levels of plant sterols and atherosclerosis: a controversial issue.
A number of studies have raised the possibility of circulating plant sterols being a risk factor in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Evidence in support of this hypothesis comes mainly from observations in sitosterolemic patients, who hyperabsorb plant sterols and suffer premature atherosclerosis. Accordingly, the atherogenicity of plant sterols of dietary origin is currently under debate, ...
متن کاملAdipoRon may be benefit for atherosclerosis prevention
Atherosclerosis has serious role in coronary arteries disease,so it is important to establish effective strategies for prevention or even treatment of atherosclerosis. Adiponectin, as one of the most abundant adipokines, has insulin sensitivity, anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic properties. Disturbed adiponectin actions through its receptor, (AdipoR1 and AdipoR2) may be involved in atheros...
