Influence of Galactooligosaccharides on the Positive Effect of Plant Sterol-Enriched Beverages on Cardiovascular Risk and Sterol Colon Metabolism.


ABSTRACT: In the present study, the impact of galactooligosaccharide (GOS) addition to a plant sterol (PS)-enriched beverage on the hypocholesterolemic effect and on the bioavailability and colonic metabolization of sterols was evaluated. A crossover trial was undertaken in postmenopausal women who intook a PS-enriched (2 g PS/day) or PS-GOS-enriched beverage (2 g PS/day and 4.3 g GOS/day) for 6 weeks. The presence of GOS did not modify the hypocholesterolemic effect of the PS-enriched beverage (total- and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol reductions) or sterol bioavailability (increments of serum markers of dietary PS intake and of cholesterol synthesis). The consumption of both beverages led to an increase of sterol and metabolite excretion (with the exception of coprostanol, which decreased) and to slight changes in women's capacities for sterol conversion, regardless of the GOS presence. This study demonstrates the suitability of simultaneous enrichment with PS and GOS in milk-based fruit beverages, considering their hypocholesterolemic effect.
