Leishmania infantum propagated in IDE8 tick cell line in vitro. L. infantum reduces tick cell viability and induces reactive oxygen species production. Lipidic profile of IDE8 tick cell line is altered during Leishmania infection. Abstract Leishmaniasis comprises a group of vector‐borne neglected tropical diseases caused by species of the obligatory ...

Oxysterols serve as both substrates and signal molecules in the cholesterol-utilizing pathways of mammalian cells. Their distribution and movement within these cells, however, have not been well characterized; therefore we have undertaken such an ...

Levels of the brain-specific cholesterol metabolite 24S-hydroxycholesterol are proposed as possible biomarkers for multiple sclerosis (MS). It is not yet clear for which aspect of the MS disease manifestations 24S-hydroxycholesterol is a reflection.

Are side-chain oxidized oxysterols regulators also in vivo?
Oxsterols are oxygenated metabolites of cholesterol that are short-lived intermediates or end products in cholesterol excretion pathways. They are present in very low concentrations in mammalian systems, always accompanied by a high excess of cholesterol.

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis: reduced serum 26-hydroxycholesterol.
Serum 26-hydroxycholesterol was quantitated by isotope dilution-mass spectrometry in normal individuals and in patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis. In the normal individuals, the concentration of 26-hydroxycholesterol in serum ranged from 4.3 to

The acyltransferase LCAT mediates FA esterification of plasma cholesterol. In vitro studies have shown that LCAT also FA-esterifies several oxysterols, but in vivo evidence is lacking. Here, we measured both free and FA-esterified forms of sterols in 206

Isotope derivative assay of microsomal cholesterol 7 α-hydroxylase
A rapid method was developed to measure cholesterol 7 α-hydroxylase activity of hepatic microsomes by the direct determination of the mass of 7 α-hydroxycholesterol formed.
