Abstract
When either mixed soybean sterols or purified sitosterols were mixed with cholesterol and cottonseed oil and included in the diet of White Leghorn chicks, the plasma and liver levels of cholesterol obtained were markedly lower than when cholesterol alone was mixed with cottonseed oil and added to the diet. The possibility is discussed that one or more of the constituents of the mixed soybean sterols interferes with the absorption of cholesterol.Keywords
