Dietary oxysterols are incorporated in plasma triglyceriderich lipoproteins, increase their susceptibility to oxidation and increase aortic cholesterol concentration of rabbits
Early fatty streaks and advanced lesions are characterized by the deposition of cholesterol and cholesterol oxidation products (oxysterols). Oxysterols have been shown to be cytotoxic and pro-atherogenic compared to cholesterol and are found in cholesterol-rich processed foods. The consumption of di...
