Miglustat in Alzheimer's Disease Associated With Heterozygous NPC1 Mutation: Exploratory Case Series and Preliminary Findings

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neurology, Volume 32, Issue 11, November 2025.
Three AD patients sharing the same heterozygous NPC1 mutation were orally treated with miglustat for 12 months and underwent monthly clinical and neuropsychological evaluations, brain amyloid‐PET imaging, and biochemical analyses on plasma and CSF. All three patients achieved clinical stability, showed a sustained reduction in serum oxysterol levels ...

Early and brain region-specific decrease of de novo cholesterol biosynthesis in Huntington's disease: A cross-validation study in Q175 knock-in mice

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2017
Cholesterol precursors and cholesterol levels are reduced in brain regions of Huntington's disease (HD) mice. Here we quantified the rate of in vivo de novo cholesterol biosynthesis in the HD brain.

Brain cholesterol in normal and pathological aging [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Aberrations in cerebral cholesterol homeostasis can lead to severe neurological diseases. Recent findings strengthen the link between brain cholesterol metabolism and factors involved in synaptic plasticity, a process essential for learning and memory ...

RPL6 Interacts with HMGCS1 to Stabilize HIF‐1α by Promoting Cholesterol Production in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 38, October 13, 2025.
The study found that RPL6 is frequently upregulated in HCC tissues with extrahepatic metastasis. Elevated RPL6 bound to and increased the stability of HMGCS1 mRNA, thereby enhancing intracellular cholesterol levels. Subsequently, increased cholesterol promotes cancer metastasis in HCC by stabilizing HIF‐1α protein.

Changes in the levels of cerebral and extracerebral sterols in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2004
24S-hydroxycholesterol is a side-chain oxidized oxysterol formed in the brain that is continuously crossing the blood-brain barrier to reach the circulation. There may be an opposite flux of 27-hydroxycholesterol, which is formed to a lower extent in the

Involvement of 27-Hydroxycholesterol in Mitotane Action on Adrenocortical Carcinoma

open access: yesCells, 2020
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare cancer with poor prognosis. Mitotane, the standard treatment for ACC, impairs adrenocortical steroid biosynthesis and cholesterol metabolism.

The effect of the apolipoprotein E phenotype on plasma lipids is not influenced by environmental variability: results of a Dutch twin study [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
We tested the influence of the apolipoprotein E (apoE) polymorphism on the intrapair differences in the levels of plasma cholesterol, plasma triglycerides, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, apoB and apoE in monozygotic (MZ) twins, and estimated ...

Effects of pravastatin and cholestyramine on products of the mevalonate pathway in familial hypercholesterolemia.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1991
Patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (n = 12) were treated either with pravastatin, a specific inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, or cholestyramine, followed by a period of combined treatment with both drugs.

Microbial Gene Profiling and Targeted Metabolomics in Fecal Samples of Dogs With Chronic Enteropathy With or Without Increased Dysbiosis Index

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 39, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background In previous studies, only a subset of dogs with chronic enteropathy (CE) had an increased dysbiosis index (DI) or altered fecal metabolites or both, suggesting differences in underlying intestinal pathophysiology between these subsets.
