Modifying cholesterol level with plant substances

PharmDr.Miloš Potužák
Lékárna, Bakov nad Jizerou

Plant substances affect elevated serum cholesterol levels by a variety of mechanisms: they reduce intestinal cholesterol and bile acid

absorption, inhibit hepatic cholesterol synthesis, protect LDL-cholesterol from oxidation, and increase HDL-cholesterol content at the

expense of LDL-cholesterol.

Keywords: lipoproteins, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, bile acids, healing drug, sterols, S-allyl cysteine, fiber, antioxidants, flavonoids
