OBJECTIVE
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a predominantly inherited disorder, which contributes to a defect of the LDL-cholesterol receptor. For adults with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), it is known that a supplementary diet of monounsaturated fatty acids reduces elevated levels of total
OBJECTIVE
There is convincing evidence that unsaturated fatty acids exert favourable effects on plasma cholesterol levels. However, it is not clear which type of oil has the most pronounced effect, especially not in paediatric patients. The aim was to compare two low-fat diet regimes enriched with
In familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) the lowering of serum cholesterol levels should be started in childhood in order to prevent coronary artery disease later in life. However, treatment of children is problematic. We studied the effects of sitostanol (3 g/day) ester dissolved in rapeseed oil
In heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), serum low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels are already elevated at birth. Premature coronary heart disease occurs in approximately 30% of heterozygous untreated adult patients. Accordingly, to retard development of atherosclerosis,
Foods containing plant sterol or stanol esters can be beneficial in lowering LDL-cholesterol concentration, a major risk factor for CVD. The present study examined whether high dietary intake of rapeseed oil (RSO) derived plant sterol and stanol esters is associated with increased levels of these
Because dietary fat appears to be an effective vehicle for dispensing plant sterols into the diet, a special plant-sterol-containing ingredient has recently been developed. This ingredient is a plant sterol suspension in oil in which the sterols are in microcrystalline form. The objective of the
Effects of small amounts of sitosterol, sitostanol and sitostanol esters (< 1 g/day of free sterols) dissolved in rapeseed oil (RSO) were studied on serum lipids and cholesterol metabolism in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and different apolipoprotein E phenotypes on an RSO diet. One of
A randomized double-blind study was made in 67 modestly hypercholesterolemic subjects by replacing 50 g of daily dietary fat by the same amount of a rapeseed oil preparation without and with fat-soluble sitostanol esters. The diet became relatively rich in dietary fat (37%) especially in subjects
OBJECTIVE
To test the dose-response effect on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) of plant sterols (PS) from different sources in a low-fat spread.
METHODS
Dose responses of soybean oil (BO), tall oil (TO) and a mix of tall oil and rapeseed oil (TO/RP) as fatty acid esters were tested in a
Canola oil is a newly marketed vegetable oil for use in salads and for cooking that contains 55% of the monounsaturated fatty acid; oleic acid, 25% linoleic acid and 10% alpha-linolenate [polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)], and only 4% of the saturated fatty acids (SFAs) that have been implicated as
