Biochem/physiol Actions
Stigmasterol is a phytosterol with chemical structure similar to cholesterol. It exhibits anti-cancer, anti-pyretic, anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating effects. Stigmasterol decreases the expression of matrix metalloproteinases and reduced the degradation of cartilage in osteoarthritic rabbits.
