Term Description

Determination of sterols (e.g. desmosterol, lathosterol, campesterol, and sitosterol) in serum or plasma is performed to diagnose conditions such as desmosterolosis (desmosterol reductase deficiency) and sitosterolemia. Patients with sitosterolemia are known to develop premature coronary artery disease, cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX), and Smith-Lemli-Optiz (SLO) syndrome. is performed to assess dietary plant sterol intake and intestinal absorption.

Phytosterols (e.g., β-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and brassicasterol) are common components of plant foods,such as vegetable oils, seeds, and nuts. An average Western diet contains approx. 200-400 mg of phytosterols per day. Phytosterols are structurally similar to cholesterol and differ only in the number of carbons or double bonds in the side chain. Since serum and tissue phytosterols are derived from intestinal absorption, levels reflect dietary plant sterol intake and intestinal absorption. Markedly increased serum phytosterol concentrations (e.g., β-sitosterol > 50 mg/l) is seen in sitosterolemia, a rare autosomal recessive lipid disorder. These patients develop premature coronary heart disease. A study suggests that even slightly increased campesterol (3.8 ± 1.6 mg/l) and β-sitosterol (3.1 ± 1.1 mg/l) concentrations in serum may contribute to the risk of coronary heart disease.
