Evaluation of the use of beta-sitostanol as a nonabsorbable marker for quantifying cholesterol absorption.
For over a decade investigators have quantified cholesterol absorption by comparison of dietary intake and fecal excretion of isotopic cholesterol with that of beta-sitosterol as a “nonabsorbable” marker. However, beta-sitosterol might not be ideal due to its potential for absorption. We therefore c...
