Serum cholesterol, cholesterol precursors, and plant sterols in hypercholesterolemic subjects with different apoE phenotypes during dietary sitostanol ester treatment

Second Department of Medicine, University of Helsinki, Finland.
A randomized double-blind study was made in 67 modestly
hypercholesterolemic subjects by replacing 50 g of daily dietary fat by the
same amount of a rapeseed oil preparation without and with fat- soluble
sitostanol esters. The diet became relatively rich in dietary fat (37%)
especially in subjects with a low basal calorie intake. The esters were
prepared by transesterification of sitostanol with rapeseed oil fatty
acids. The effects of sitostanol esters were studied on serum cholesterol
and cholesterol synthesis (measuring cholesterol precursors in serum) and
absorption (measuring serum plant sterols). The results were related to
different apoE phenotypes. A 6-week regimen of about 3.4 g/day of
sitostanol lowered total and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol
levels by 7.5% and 10%, respectively, over that due to rapeseed oil alone.
High density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations
were unchanged. Thus, the HDL/LDL cholesterol ratio was significantly
increased. The decrease in LDL cholesterol level was more consistent in
subjects with the epsilon 4 allele than in those with homozygous epsilon 3
alleles. Sitostanol markedly decreased serum campesterol (-46%) and
sitosterol (-30%), especially in subjects with the epsilon 4 alleles known
to have high cholesterol absorption . The decreases of LDL cholesterol and
plant sterols were interrelated, suggesting that reduced cholesterol
absorption contributed to the lowering of LDL cholesterol. Serum sitostanol
was unchanged, while the serum cholesterol precursors, delta 8-cholestenol,
desmosterol, and lathosterol, were compensatorily increased by 10% (P <
0.05), most consistently in the subjects with epsilon 4 alleles, indicating
an increase in cholesterol synthesis. The study demonstrates that
sitostanol esters dissolved in dietary fat can be recommended for treatment
of modest primary hypercholesterolemia and are apparently practical and
suitable for cholesterol lowering in a general population.
