Consumption of plant sterols and treatment with ezetimibe both reduce cholesterol absorption in the intestine. However, the mechanism of action differs between the two treatments, and the consequences of combination treatment are unknown. Therefore, we performed a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study for the plant sterol component with open-label ezetimibe treatment. Forty mildly hypercholesterolemic subjects were randomized to the following treatments for 4 weeks each: 10 mg/day ezetimibe combined with 25 g/day control spread; 10 mg/day ezetimibe combined with 25 g/day spread containing 2.0 g of plant sterols; 25 g/day spread containing 2.0 g of plant sterols; and placebo treatment consisting of 25 g/day control spread. Combination treatment of plant sterols and ezetimibe reduced low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by 1.06 mmol/l (25.2%; P < 0.001) compared with 0.23 mmol/ l (4.7%; P = 0.006) with plant sterols and 0.94 mmol/ l (22.2%; P = 0.001) with ezetimibe monotherapy. LDL-C reduction conferred by the combination treatment did not differ significantly from ezetimibe monotherapy (-0.12 mmol/ l or -3.5%; P = 0.13). Additionally, the plasma lathosterol-to- cholesterol ratio increased with all treatments. Sitosterol and campesterol ratios increased after plant sterol treatment and decreased upon ezetimibe and combination therapy. Our results indicate that the combination of plant sterols and ezetimibe has no therapeutic benefit over ezetimibe monotherapy in subjects with mild hypercholesterolemia.
