Plant stanol and stanol ester : comparison on mimicking property for LDL lowering
نویسنده
چکیده
Hyperlipoproteinemia is classified as an important risk for cardiovascular disease. At present, the standard treatment is with statins. However, statins may have some unfavorable side effects. Recently, a new concept, namely the use the plant derived stanol for lowering of LDL level was proposed. The author has performed an analysis on the structure of plant stanol compared to plant stanol ester, with the aim of assessing its efficacy in mimicking LDL. It can be seen that the plant stanol ester has less difference in size comparing to LDL. This implies the better mimicking effect of plant stanol ester than plant stanol.
