Product Data
Biological target:
Sitostanol reduces cholesterol uptake in isolated rat jejunal loops when used at a concentration of 0.3 mM in a micellar solution containing cholesterol. Sitostanol decreases liver cholesterol levels and prevents abdominal aorta atheroma in rabbits when administered in a cholesterol-containing diet at 0.5%.
In vitro activity:
Sitostanol has beneficial in vivo effects on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism, but alterations in human mitochondrial function are apparently not involved. In vitro, sitostanol did not change mitochondrial function in adipocytes derived from human BAT or in cultured human myotubes. Interestingly, maximal mitochondrial function in HepG2 human hepatocytes was decreased following sitostanol incubation, however, only when mitochondrial function was assessed in low glucose-containing medium.
