Regulation of 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase/∆5-∆4 Isomerase: A Review [PDF]
This review focuses on the expression and regulation of 3β-hydroxysteroi ddehydrogenase/Δ5-Δ4 isomerase (3β-HSD), with emphasis on the porcine version. 3β-HSD is often associated with steroidogenesis, but its function in the metabolism of both steroids ...

A rapid procedure was developed to measure hepatic cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity in the absence of endogenous microsomal cholesterol. This method involves the preparation of an acetone powder from the microsomal fraction of rat liver that ...

Dietary cholesterol and downregulation of cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase and cholesterol absorption in African green monkeys. [PDF]
In this study, hepatic production of bile acid was considered together with intestinal cholesterol absorption as potential regulatory sites responsive to dietary cholesterol. Sequential liver biopsies were taken from 45 feral African green monkeys studied during three different diet periods.

Synergistic interaction of fatty acids and oxysterols impairs mitochondrial function and limits liver adaptation during nafld progression [PDF]
The complete mechanism accounting for the progression from simple steatosis to steatohepatitis in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has not been elucidated.

Subverting sterols: rerouting an oxysterol-signaling pathway to promote tumor growth. [PDF]
Oxysterols are oxidized derivatives of cholesterol that are generated enzymatically or through autoxidation. Initially identified as important lipid signaling molecules in the context of atherosclerosis and inflammation, accumulated evidence indicates ...
