Phytochemicals have attracted attention due to.their substantial cholesterol-lowering properties. Tis review.focuses on studies conducted with phytochemicals and discusses.the probable mechanisms for serum cholesterol reduction. Te.cholesterol-lowering effects of phytochemicals were associated.with phytosterol, phenolics, saponins, alkaloids, organic sulfdes.and lectins. Phytochemicals were shown to be able to reduce food.intake and auto-synthesis of cholesterol, inhibit emulsifcation.and esterifcation of cholesterol, and promote excretion of bile.acid or transfer of cholesterol. Different phytochemicals can.contribute to one or more of these mechanisms. Phytosterols.may also exert their effects by suppressing the formation of.dietary mixed micelles (DMM) and expression of NiemannPick C1-Like1 (NPC1L1) to inhibit absorption of cholesterol..Polyphenols may regulate the activity of cholesteryl ester transfer.protein (CETP) to accelerate transportation of cholesterol..Finally, these fndings make it possible to use phytochemicals to.guide the creation of a benefcial diet.
