✦ Synopsis

Plant sterols (phytosterols) are a group of compounds structurally very similar to cholesterol (Fig. ). The main plant sterols, sitosterol and campesterol differ from the structure of cholesterol by an ethyl and a methyl group, respectively, at C-24 in the side chain. These small differences have a remarkable impact on the fate of those compounds in the digestive tract. The absorption of sitosterol, the most common plant sterol, is only 10% of the absorption of cholesterol, whereas campesterol shows somewhat higher absorption (Tab. 1). Saturation of sito-
