Separation of sterols by vapor-programmed thin-layer chromatography
Journal of Lipid Research, 1970 By vapor-programmed thin-layer chromatography on silica gel, it was possible to separate cholestanol from cholesterol and stigmastanol from β-sitosterol. The method was applied for the analysis of β-sitosterol-3-14C.

On the substrate specificity of human CYP27A1: implications for bile acid and cholestanol formation.
Journal of Lipid Research, 2003 The mitochondrial sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) is required for degradation of the C27-sterol side chain in bile acid biosynthesis. CYP27A1 seems, however, to have roles beyond this, as illustrated by patients with a deficient sterol 27-hydroxylase due

Deposition of Cholesterol and Cholestanol in Experimental Rabbit Atherosclerosis.
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1961 SummaryContrary to the original findings it is established that cholesterol-C14 and cholesterol-H3 are deposited in tissues of rabbits in exactly the same way. The reason for the discrepancy in deposition of the two substances in earlier experiments was found in the presence of chemically negligible traces of cholestanol-H3 which had then not been ...
