Difference between Low-density lipoprotein and Stanol ester

Low-density lipoprotein vs. Stanol ester

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is one of the five major groups of lipoprotein which transport all fat molecules around the body in the extracellular water. Stanol ester is a heterogeneous group of chemical compounds known to reduce the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in blood when ingested, though to a much lesser degree than prescription drugs such as statins.

Similarities between Low-density lipoprotein and Stanol ester
