Sterol balance in the Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome: reduction in whole body cholesterol synthesis and normal bile acid production

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
The Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is a multiple malformation/mental retardation syndrome caused by a deficiency of the enzyme 7-dehydrocholesterol Δ7-reductase.

Individual and simultaneous treatment with antipsychotic aripiprazole and antidepressant trazodone inhibit sterol biosynthesis in the adult brain

Journal of Lipid Research, 2022
Polypharmacy, or the simultaneous use of multiple drugs to treat a single patient, is a common practice in psychiatry. Unfortunately, data on the health effects of commonly used combinations of medications are very limited.

7-Dehydrocholesterol down-regulates cholesterol biosynthesis in cultured Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome skin fibroblasts

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
The Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is a common birth defect–mental retardation syndrome caused by a defect in the enzyme that reduces 7-dehydrocholesterol to cholesterol.

Sterols in blood of normal and Smith-Lemli-Opitz subjects

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is a hereditary disorder in which a defective gene encoding 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase causes the accumulation of noncholesterol sterols, such as 7- and 8-dehydrocholesterol.

Assays of plasma dehydrocholesteryl esters and oxysterols from Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome patients[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is caused by mutations in the gene encoding 3β-hydroxysterol-Δ7-reductase and as a result of this defect, 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) and 8-dehydrocholesterol (8-DHC) accumulate in the fluids and tissues of patients ...

Measurement of 7-dehydrocholesterol and cholesterol in hair can be used in the diagnosis of Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome

Journal of Lipid Research, 2022
7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) and cholesterol (CHOL) are biomarkers of Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome (SLOS), a congenital autosomal recessive disorder characterized by elevated 7-DHC level in patients.

Neutral sterols of rat epididymis: high concentrations of dehydrocholesterols in rat caput epididymidis

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
Phospholipids and sterols are known to have multiple functions in reproductive tissue of mammals. High concentrations of the cholesterol precursor desmosterol have been described in testis, epididymis, and spermatozoa of various species.

Biochemical and physiological improvement in a mouse model of Smith–Lemli–Opitz syndrome (SLOS) following gene transfer with AAV vectors

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2014
Smith–Lemli–Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is an inborn error of cholesterol synthesis resulting from a defect in 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase (DHCR7), the enzyme that produces cholesterol from its immediate precursor 7-dehydrocholesterol.
