Plant Sterols and Cholesterol Absorption

Direct Competition: Plant sterols and stanols (phytosterols) have a chemical structure very similar to cholesterol.
Intestinal Mechanism: When consumed, they compete directly with dietary and biliary cholesterol for incorporation into mixed micelles in the small intestine.
Inhibition Effect: Because of this competition, the presence of plant sterols significantly reduces the absorption of cholesterol across the intestinal wall.
Excretion: The unabsorbed cholesterol, along with the plant sterols, is then simply excreted from the body via the feces.
Biochemical Impact: This competitive displacement leads to a measurable decrease in serum LDL cholesterol levels in the bloodstream.
