Abstract
(1) Plant sterol absorption was increased whereas hepatic elimination of all sterols was diminished in WKY rats accounting for elevated cholesterol and plant sterol levels. (2) The 1% plant sterol-enriched diet tended to lower plasma cholesterol levels whereas SCH 58235 feeding significantly increased plasma cholesterol levels in the WKY rats. (3) Intestinal absorption of sterols with C-22 double bond is diminished and the side-chain double bond is resistant to intestinal bacteria.
