Blood lipid response to phytosterol and ezetimibe therapy in Syrian golden hamsters. (A) total cholesterol (mmol/L); (B) non-HDL cholesterol (mmol/L); (C) HDL-cholesterol (mmol/L); (D) triglyceride (mmol/L); (E) Plasma cholesterol esters (nmol/L) including cholesteryl palmitate (CE-16:0), cholesteryl oleate (CE-18:1), cholesteryl-linoleate (CE-18:2) and cholesteryl arachidonate (CE 20:4). ^abGroups not sharing a superscript are significantly different (p < 0.05). The dashed line in A, B, C and D represent the mean lipid response following consumption of the LF diet.
