This study aimed to investigate the long-term effects of phytosterols (PS) intake on systemic and tissue-specific lipid metabolism in C57BL/6J mice. Healthy male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided in
TC, total cholesterol; TG, total triacylglycerol; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; FFA, free fatty acid. Results are expressed as mean±SD, n = 6. Means within a row with di
Serum lipoproteins were separated by size exclusion chromatography, and the concentration of total (TC) and unesterified (UC) cholesterol, phospholipids (PL), and triglycerides (TG) was determined by
ALT = alanine transaminase; WBC = white blood cell count.*Pre = plasma collected immediately before surgery and prior to drug administration; Post = plasma collected immediately after surgery. Values
