Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of sterols into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of sterols into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of sterols into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of lipids into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Lipids are compounds soluble in an organic solvent but not, or sparingly, in an aqueous solvent. Any process by which phytosterols are taken up from the contents of the intestine. The directed movement of a sterol across a membrane into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Sterols are steroids with one or more hydroxyl groups and a hydrocarbon side-chain in the molecule. The directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) into, out of, within or between cells, or within a multicellular organism by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of sterols into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Sterols are steroids with one or more hydroxyl groups and a hydrocarbon side-chain in the molecule. The directed movement of cholesterol, cholest-5-en-3-beta-ol, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Any process by which a lipid is transported to, or maintained in, a specific location. The directed movement of sterols within cells.
