Abstract
Various human cholesterol lowering mechanisms are presented with an attempt to integrate current concepts of lipoprotein structure and metabolism. Polyunsaturated fat presumably increases total fecal sterol output which may lower plasma cholesterol by redistribution. Membrane fluidity is indicated as a regulator of absolute numbers of low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors.This publication has 42 references indexed in Scilit:
