Increased plasma cholestanol and 5 alpha-saturated plant sterol derivatives in subjects with sitosterolemia and xanthomatosis.
We have measured plasma sterol composition in 14 subjects with sitosterolemia and xanthomatosis. In addition to elevated plasma phytosterol (campesterol 16 +/- 7 mg/dl and sitosterol 35 +/- 16 mg/dl) and normal to moderately high cholesterol levels (258 +/- 96 mg/dl), concentrations of 5 alpha-satur...
