Description:
Campesterol is a phytosterol, primarily found in nuts, fruits, legumes and seeds. It is poorly absorbed in humans and competitively inhibits the absorption of cholesterol. lt decreases the transcription of genes involved in cholesterol metabolism in hepatocytes and enterocytes and has positive impact in treatment of cardiovascular disease. lt was used as standard in GC1 and HPLC2 analysis of oil samples from plants.
