摘要:To examine whether phytosterols in polyunsaturated oils account for their differential action on lipid metabolism compared with monounsaturated oils, 16 normolipidemic individuals consumed three 10-day experimental diets containing corn oil (high in polyunsaturated fatty acids and phytosterols), olive oil (high in monounsaturated fatty acids and low in phytosterols), or olive oil supplemented with phytosterols given at twice the level naturally found in corn oil (high in monounsaturated fatty acids and phytosterols). Plasma total cholesterol concentrations after both the olive oil and the olive oil–phytosterol treatments were higher ( P P P —Howell, T. J., D. E. MacDougall, and P. J. H. Jones. Phytosterols partially explain differences in cholesterol metabolism caused by corn or olive oil feeding. J. Lipid Res. 1998. 39: 892–900.
