24α-ethyl Cholesterol is a naturally occurring plant sterol with antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, angiogenic, chemopreventive, and immunomodulatory activities. It inhibits the absorption of dietary and endogenously-produced cholesterol from the small intestine, reducing blood cholesterol concentrations. Because of its nutraceutical benefits, 24α-ethyl cholesterol has been used as a food additive intended to lower LDL cholesterol. 24α-ethyl Cholesterol (0.1 - 100 μM) can dose-dependently induce adipogenesis and lipolysis in rat primary preadipocytes as well as stimulate glucose uptake in differentiated adipocytes.

Beta-Sitosterol is one of several phytosterols related to cholesterol. It reduces blood levels of cholesterol by competing with it for absorption in the intestine and is sometimes used in treating hypercholesterolemia. Due to its structural similarity to cholesterol, when sitosterol is absorbed in the intestine, it is transported by lipoproteins and incorporated into the cellular membrane. It takes the place of dietary and biliary cholesterol in micelles produced in the intestinal lumen.

Sitosterol is a member of the class of phytosterols that is stigmast-5-ene substituted by a beta-hydroxy group at position . It has a role as a sterol methyltransferase inhibitor, an anticholesteremic drug, an antioxidant, a plant metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a 3beta-sterol, a stigmastane sterol, a 3beta-hydroxy-Delta(5)-steroid and a member of phytosterols. It derives from a hydride of a stigmastane.
