TL;DR: Takeaway is that PSE supplementation not only lowered LDL cholesterol, but also serum TAG concentrations, especially in subjects with overt hypertriglyceridemia, which is a positive sign for lipid metabolism in a population with elevated fasting TAG concentrations.
The baseline serum lipoprotein profile is related to plant stanol induced changes in serum lipoprotein cholesterol and triacylglycerol concentrations.
TL;DR: People with an unfavorable serum lipid and lipoprotein profile benefit even more of plant stanols than people with a more favorable profile.

TL;DR: Subjects seem to have consistent plasma oxyphytosterol concentrations, which resulted in the identification of 'low and high oxidizers', however, differences could not be attributed to the oxidative and anti-oxidative capacity markers analyzed.
Consumption of oat beta-glucan with or without plant stanols did not influence inflammatory markers in hypercholesterolemic subjects.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of muesli enriched with oat beta-glucan and plant stanol esters (PSE) on inflammatory processes were evaluated in mild hypercholesterolemic subjects.
