General description

Campestanol has a methyl group at the C-24. It comprises the 10-30% of stanol content in vegetable oil. It is naturally occurring and has similar structure as cholesterol. Campestanol is synthesized by the hydrogenation of campesterol.
Campestanol is a saturated plant stanol.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Campestanol absorption in intestine is similar to that of cholesterol absorption pathway. However, in sitosterolemic homozygotes, it is hyperabsorbed from the intestine.
Intestinal absorption of campestanol is lesser compared to cholesterol due to the presence of side chain. Due to the structural similarity with cholesterol, campestanol reduces cholesterol absorption in the intestine and the plasma level of LDL cholesterol.
