Oxygenation of desmosterol and cholesterol in cell cultures.
In order to determine whether hydration of the delta 24 bond of desmosterol contributes to the formation of the regulatory oxysterol, 25-hydroxycholesterol, [3H]desmosterol was incubated with two cultured cell lines and the labeled products were analyzed.

The retina and brain are separated from the systemic circulation by the anatomical barriers, which are permeable (the outer blood-retinal barrier) and impermeable (the blood-brain and inner blood-retina barriers) to cholesterol.

We have previously demonstrated that the brain contains about 80% of the 24S-hydroxycholesterol in the human body and that there is a net flux of this steroid from the brain into the circulation (Lütjohann, D. et al. 1996. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 93:

Insights from the Structure of Estrogen Receptor into the Evolution of Estrogens: Implications for Endocrine Disruption [PDF]
In the last decade, there has been important progress in understanding the origins and evolution of receptors for adrenal steroids (aldosterone, cortisol) and sex steroids (estradiol, progesterone, testosterone) due to the sequencing of genomes from ...

Extracts of urine and serum from children with cholestatic liver disease were analyzed by fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectrometry. About half of all spectra showed a peak at m/z 657, compatible with the presence of a glucuronidated cholestenediol ...

27-Hydroxycholesterol: production rates in normal human subjects
We attempted to quantitate production of bile acid via the 27-hydroxylation pathway in six human subjects. After bolus intravenous injection of known amounts of [24-14C]cholic acid and [24-14C]chenodeoxycholic acid, each subject underwent a constant ...

Cholesterol 25-hydroxylation activity of CYP3A
To date, many studies have been conducted using 25-hydroxycholesterol, which is a potent regulator of lipid metabolism. However, the origins of this oxysterol have not been entirely elucidated. Cholesterol 25-hydroxylase is one of the enzymes responsible

Side chain hydroxylation of cholesterol, campesterol and β-sitosterol in rat liver mitochondria
The extent of the side chain hydroxylation of cholesterol, campesterol (24 α-methylcholesterol), and β-sitosterol (24 α-ethylcholesterol) in rat liver mitochondria has been compared.

24(S)-hydroxycholesterol participates in a liver X receptor-controlled pathway in astrocytes that regulates apolipoprotein E-mediated cholesterol efflux [PDF]
Both apolipoprotein E (apoE) and 24(S)-hydroxycholesterol are involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease (AD). It has been hypothesized that apoE affects AD development via isoform-specific effects on lipid trafficking between astrocytes and ...
