Long-term effects of sterol depletion in C. elegans

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2004
Three major long-term effects of sterol deprivation in Caenorhabditis elegans are described. 1) The life expectancy of sterol-deprived wild-type animals is decreased by more than 40%. Similar decreases are found in animals carrying mutations in the daf-9,

A highly sensitive method for analysis of 7-dehydrocholesterol for the study of Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome[S]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2014
We describe a highly sensitive method for the detection of 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC), the biosynthetic precursor of cholesterol, based on its reactivity with 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (PTAD) in a Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction.

Inhibition of 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase prevents hepatic ferroptosis under an active state of sterol synthesis

open access: yesNature Communications
Recent evidence indicates ferroptosis is implicated in the pathophysiology of various liver diseases; however, the organ-specific regulation mechanism is poorly understood.

Synthesis of 7-dehydrocholesterol through hexacarbonyl molybdenum catalyzed elimination reaction

open access: yesBulletin of the Chemical Society of Ethiopia, 2011
The efficiency of hexacarbonyl molybdenum catalyzed elimination reaction of the allylic acetates has been improved by the presence of O,N-bis(trimethylsilyl) acetamide in the reaction medium.

Cholic acid increases plasma cholesterol in Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome: A pilot study

open access: yesMolecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports
Background: Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is an inherited disorder of cholesterol biosynthesis associated with congenital malformations, growth delay, intellectual disability and behavior problems.

Selective ability of rat 7-Dehydrocholesterol reductase (DHCR7) to act on some 7-Dehydrocholesterol metabolites but not on lumisterol metabolites

Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2021
7-Dehydrocholesterol reductase (DHCR7) catalyses the final step of cholesterol biosynthesis in the Kandutsch-Russel pathway, the reduction of 7-dehydrocholesterol (7DHC) to cholesterol. 7DHC can be acted on by a range of other enzymes including CYP27A1 and CYP11A1, as well as by UVB radiation, producing a number of derivatives including hydroxy ...

Skin content of 7-dehydrocholesterol in patients with malabsorption

Nutrition, 1997
The mechanism for the development of vitamin D deficiency in patients with malabsorption remains unclear. We wished to examine the hypothesis that one factor was a reduced skin content of 7-dehydrocholesterol, the precursor for the formation of vitamin D in the presence of ultraviolet radiation.
