A Japanese prospective multicenter study of urinary oxysterols in biliary atresia

Scientific Reports, 2021
Diagnosis of biliary atresia (BA) can involve uncertainties. In the present prospective multicenter study, we considered whether urinary oxysterols represent a useful marker for diagnosis of BA in Japanese children.

HvarAKR1B1‐mediated tolerance in Hippodamia variegata: Deciphering the metabolic adaptation and fitness costs under prolonged starvation

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Starvation stress significantly affected the growth and development of Hippodamia variegata. Combined transcriptome and metabolome analysis and RNA interference verification revealed that HvarAKR1B1 may be involved in the response of Hippodamia variegata to starvation stress.

Novel approaches for drug development against chronic primary pain: A systematic review

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic primary pain (CPP) persisting for more than 3 months, associated with significant emotional distress without any known underlying cause, is an unmet medical need. Traditional or adjuvant analgesics do not provide satisfactory pain relief for a great proportion of these patients.

Ca2+ channel blockers verapamil and nifedipine inhibit apoptosis induced by 25-hydroxycholesterol in human aortic smooth muscle cells

Journal of Lipid Research, 1997
We have characterized the death of human aortic smooth muscle cells induced by 25-hydroxycholesterol, an oxidation product of cholesterol. Chromatin condensation characteristic of apoptosis was observed by enzymatic (TUNEL) staining of chromatin, and by ...

Decoding Undesirable Inflammatory Responses of Nucleic Acid‐Delivering Lipid Nanoparticles

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 33, 15 June 2026.
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) enable efficient nucleic acid delivery, but their immunogenicity is a double‐edged sword. This review explores LNP‐driven innate and adaptive immunity, covering lipid components, endosomal escape, and nucleic acid sensing.

Serum 24S-hydroxycholesterol and hippocampal size in middle-aged normal individuals

Neurobiology of Aging, 2009
The present study assessed the association between serum 24S-hydroxycholesterol (24S-OH-Chol) and 27-hydroxycholesterol (27-OH-Chol) and hippocampal volumes in 69 middle-aged cognitively normal individuals. Results showed that subjects with high levels of oxysterols had significantly larger hippocampal volumes than subjects with low levels of ...

Serum 4β-hydroxycholesterol increases during fluconazole treatment

, 2020
Purpose: The antifungal drugs ketoconazole and itraconazole reduce serum concentrations of 4β-hydroxycholesterol, which is a validated marker for hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 activity.

Metabolic Fingerprinting of Urine Reveals Metabolite Changes in Women With Breast Cancer

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study uses metabolomics to compare urine, plasma and serum metabolite profiles across breast cancer, benign breast disease, symptomatic and healthy controls. Significant metabolic differences—especially in amino acids—were found between BC and other groups, with moderate correlations across biofluids, suggesting potential for non‐invasive BC ...

CYP46A1‐Targeted Treatment Alleviates Long‐Term White Matter Injury Following Traumatic Brain Injury by Promoting Cholesterol Metabolic Clearance and Remyelination

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that CYP46A1 plays a critical role in regulating cholesterol homeostasis in microglia and that the targeting of CYP46A1 may offer a viable therapeutic approach for traumatic brain injury (TBI). The CYP46A1 activator Efavirenz reduces white matter damage by increasing the levels of the cholesterol metabolite 24OHC, thereby ...

Quantitative detection of free 24S-hydroxycholesterol, and 27-hydroxycholesterol from human serum [PDF]

BMC Neuroscience, 2014
Cholesterol metabolism is important for the maintenance of myelin and neuronal membranes in the central nervous system. Blood concentrations of the brain specific cholesterol metabolite 24S-hydroxysterol to the peripheral metabolite 27-hydroxycholesterol may be useful surrogate markers for neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease ...
