Membrane properties of hydroxycholesterols related to the brain cholesterol metabolism

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2017
Compared to cholesterol, hydroxycholesterols contain an additional hydroxy group in the alkyl chain and are able to efficiently cross the brain–blood barrier. Therefore, they are responsible for the sterol transfer between brain and circulation.

24-Hydroxycholesterol is a substrate for hepatic cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A)

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
(24S)-Hydroxycholesterol is formed from cholesterol in the brain and is important for cholesterol homeostasis in this organ. Elimination of (24S)-hydroxycholesterol has been suggested to occur in the liver but little is known about the metabolism of this

Serum concentration of 7 alpha-hydroxycholesterol as an indicator of bile acid synthesis in humans.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1995
The serum concentration of 7 alpha-hydroxycholesterol as an indicator of total bile acid synthesis was investigated under different experimental conditions in humans. 7 alpha-Hydroxycholesterol was measured by gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry,

Plasma advanced glycation end products and soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products as indicators of sterol content in human carotid atherosclerotic plaques

Diabetes & Vascular Disease Research, 2022
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are independently related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and favor cholesterol and oxysterol accumulation in macrophage foam cells.

Evidence that the major oxysterols in human circulation originate from distinct pools of cholesterol: a stable isotope study

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
The major oxysterols in human circulation are 7α-, 27-, and (24S)-hydroxycholesterol. Two unique experiments were performed to elucidate their origin and kinetics. A volunteer was exposed to 18O2-enriched air. A rapid incorporation of 18O in both 7α- and

Oxysterols Protect Epithelial Cells Against Pore-Forming Toxins

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Many species of bacteria produce toxins such as cholesterol-dependent cytolysins that form pores in cell membranes. Membrane pores facilitate infection by releasing nutrients, delivering virulence factors, and causing lytic cell damage - cytolysis ...

Insights from the Structure of Estrogen Receptor into the Evolution of Estrogens: Implications for Endocrine Disruption

, 2011
In the last decade, there has been important progress in understanding the origins and evolution of receptors for adrenal steroids (aldosterone, cortisol) and sex steroids (estradiol, progesterone, testosterone) due to the sequencing of genomes from ...

Biotin attenuation of oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, lipid metabolism alteration and 7β-hydroxycholesterol-induced cell death in 158N murine oligodendrocytes

, 2019
Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are involved in neurodegenerative diseases associated with an enhancement of lipid peroxidation products such as 7β-hydroxycholesterol (7β-OHC).

Esterified and total 7 alpha-hydroxycholesterol in human serum as an indicator for hepatic bile acid synthesis.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1990
Serum levels of 7 alpha-hydroxycholesterol and activities of hepatic microsomal cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase in surgical patients were analyzed by capillary gas-liquid chromatography-selected ion monitoring technique using a new internal standard, 5 ...
