EPA-ME, β-sitosterol, and fucosterol suppressed the elevation of cholesterol levels in both the serum and liver. However, the simultaneous addition of EPA-ME and either β-sitosterol or fucosterol did not increase the hypocholesterolemic effects on the serum and liver. Tapes PL, soybean lecithin, and chicken-egg lecithin elevated the serum cholesterol level markedly. On the other hand, Tapes PL suppressed the increase in liver-cholesterol levels in contrast with soybean lecithin and chicken-egg lecithin.}, pages = {79--83}, title = {Hypocholesterolemic Effects of Eicosapentaenoic Acid, Phospholipids, and Phytosterols in Rats}, volume = {33}, year = {} }
