Sitostanol is a metabolite of the common plant sterol sitosterol that can decrease micellar solubility of cholesterol [1]. Sitostanol can reduce intestinal absorption of cholesterol and positively affect cholesterol metabolism in intestinal epithelial cells [2]. Sitostanol can be used as a model compound to develop GC-MS methods for characterizing and quantifying the oxidation products of Sitostanol [3].
In vitro, Sitostanol (1.2µM) treatment of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from asthma patients for 48 hours increased the number of Treg cells and promoted the secretion of IL-17 and IL-10[4]. Treatment with Sitostanol (1.2µM) for 24h significantly reduced maximal respiration in hepG2 cells at low glucose concentrations[5].
In vivo, Sitostanol treatment via oral administration at a dose of 0.64g/day for 10 weeks significantly reduced plasma cholesterol levels and inhibited the development of atherosclerosis in rabbits[6]. Daily oral administration of Sitostanol (2.25g/100g) for 4 weeks significantly reduced plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations and altered hepatic cholesterol metabolism in guinea pigs[7].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) |
Preparation Method | PBMCs were cultured in RPMI 1640, containing 25mM HEPES and L-glutamine, supplemented with 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 1% sodium pyruvate, and 1% human serum pool, heat-inactivated for 30 minutes at 56°C. PBMCs were seeded 1×106/ml in 24-wells flat bottom culture plates. Cells were then incubated with 1.2µM Sitostanol for 48h for cytokine assays. |
Reaction Conditions | 1.2µM; 48h |
Applications | Sitostanol treatment enhanced the levels of IL-10 and IL-17 in PBMCs. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Male Hartley guinea pigs |
Preparation Method | Fifty male Hartley guinea pigs, weighing between 300 and 400g, were randomly assigned to one of the 2 dietary groups (ten per group). One group received Sitostanol 2.5g/100g/day. The control group fed a low-cholesterol diet. Two guinea pigs were kept per metal cage and were housed in a light cycle room (light from 07:00 to 19:00) with a temperature of 23℃ for a period of 4 weeks. The guinea pigs had free access to diet and water. Animals were killed by cardiac puncture after halothane anaesthesia, and blood was collected to analyze plasma lipoproteins for characterization. Liver was harvested to determine hepatic lipids. |
Dosage form | 2.5g/100g/day for 4 weeks; p.o. |
Applications | Sitostanol treatment significantly reduced plasma LDL-C concentrations and altered hepatic cholesterol metabolism in guinea pigs. |
