“…However, a review of several studies also indicated a hypocholesterolemic effect of some unsaponifiables, in particular, plant sterol components [10]. Several investigators reported that not only can plant sterols significantly lower LDL-C levels even at relatively low intakes [11][12][13][14][15][16], but also some plant sterols are more active than others [14][15][16]. In addition, cholesterol-lowering effects of other unsaponifiables such as tocotrienols [17][18][19][20][21], analogs of tocopherol and oryzanol, a ferulate ester of phytosterols and triterpene alcohols, also have been reported [22][23][24][25][26].…”
