ABSTRACT
Hyperlipidemia,as one of the severe risk factors of cardiovascular disease,could easily trigger atherosclerosis,coronary heart disease,peripheral vascular disease,pancreatitis,etc.,and could also increase the incidence of type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease. Improving dyslipidemia could slow down the progression of atherosclerosis and reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. This is of great importance for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Phytosterols are natural active ingredients in plants. Many researches have shown that phytosterols have significant lipid-lowering activity,which could effectively lower blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Foods containing phytosterols have been widely used as therapeutic diets for improving dyslipidemia. In the early years,it was believed that the lipid-lowering effect of phytosterols was achieved by competitively inhibiting the absorption of dietary cholesterol in the intestine since phytosterols had similar chemical structures with cholesterol. In further researches in recent years,more progress has been made in the lipid-lowering mechanisms of phytosterols. In this paper,PubMed and Web of Science were used to review the cholesterol-lowering and triglyceride-lowering mechanisms of phytosterols according to the available data published,so as to use phytosterols more rationally in clinical application to improve hyperlipidemia and other induced diseases.
