Additional mechanism for selective absorption of cholesterol and phytosterols

Phytosterols are structurally similar to cholesterol but they are much less absorbed (50%) in the intestine. We hypothesize that phytosterols are poor substrates of intestinal acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase 2 (ACAT2), and thus minimal phytosterol esters are formed and packed into chylomicrons...
