Abstract

Phytosterols (PhytoPs) are plant compounds that are gaining attention due to their potential benefits when consumed. This article highlights their formation in response to oxidative stress in plants and explores their impact on human health. PhytoPs exhibit cellular activity that may play a crucial role in regulating the immune system. This discussion aims to shed light on the potential of these plant compounds as valuable contributors to a healthy lifestyle that could assist in inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and cancer-related conditions.
