1 BACKGROUND: Naturally occurring plant sterol esters (SEs) favorably affect serum cholesterol concentrations in humans and could aid in the treatment of children with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). ses low density lipoprotein receptor Homo sapiens
2 BACKGROUND: Naturally occurring plant sterol esters (SEs) favorably affect serum cholesterol concentrations in humans and could aid in the treatment of children with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). ses low density lipoprotein receptor Homo sapiens
3 DESIGN: In a randomized, double-blind crossover study comprising two 8-wk interventions, 38 children with FH consumed 18.2 +/- 1.5 g SE spread/d, corresponding to 1.60 +/- 0.13 g SEs, or a control spread. ses low density lipoprotein receptor Homo sapiens
4 CONCLUSION: A daily intake of 1.6 g SEs induces an additional reduction in LDL-cholesterol concentrations in children with FH consuming a recommended diet. ses low density lipoprotein receptor Homo sapiens
