Oxysterols and atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis, 1999Oxysterols are present in human atherosclerotic plaque and are suggested to play an active role in plaque development. Moreover, the oxysterol:cholesterol ratio in plaque is much higher than in normal tissues or plasma. Oxysterols in plaque are derived both non-enzymically, either from the diet and/or from in vivo oxidation, or (e.g.

Oxysterols in Infectious Diseases
2023Oxysterols have emerged as important bioactive lipids in the immune response to infectious diseases. This chapter discusses our current knowledge of oxysterols and their receptors in bacterial and viral infections of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts.

Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 1985
A binding protein is described for certain oxygenated derivatives of cholesterol which suppress 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase and cholesterol synthesis in cultured mammalian cells. This protein is found in the cytosolic fraction of many cell types and is distinct from cytosolic proteins which bind cholesterol.

Oxysterols and Alzheimer's disease
Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2006There is a clear link between cholesterol turnover and neurodegenerative diseases and hypercholesterolemia is an established risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). The failure to demonstrate a transfer of cholesterol from the circulation into the brain in humans and experimental animals makes it difficult to explain the link between ...

Oxysterols and neurodegenerative diseases
Molecular Aspects of Medicine, 2009In contrast to their parent molecule cholesterol, two of its side-chain oxidized metabolites are able to cross the blood-brain barrier. There is a concentration-driven flux of 24S-hydroxycholesterol (24S-OHC) from the brain into the circulation, which is of major importance for elimination of excess cholesterol from the brain.

Oxysterol biosynthetic enzymes
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2000Oxysterols, herein defined as derivatives of cholesterol with a hydroxyl group on the side chain, play several roles in lipid metabolism. Members of this class regulate the expression of genes that participate in both sterol and fat metabolism, serve as substrates for the synthesis of bile acids, and are intermediates in the transfer of sterols from ...

Oxysterols are oxygenated derivatives of cholesterol formed in the human body or ingested in the diet. By modulating the activity of many proteins (for instance, liver X receptors, oxysterol-binding proteins, some ATP-binding cassette transporters), oxysterols can affect many cellular functions and influence various physiological processes (e.g ...

Future Cardiology, 2009
Oxysterols are biologically active molecules that result from the oxidation of cholesterol. Several oxysterols are found in macrophages and macrophage-derived 'foam cells' in atherosclerotic tissue. Lipophilic oxysterols penetrate cell membranes and, therefore, their concentrations can reach harmful levels in endothelial and smooth muscle cells located

Analysis of oxysterol metabolomes
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2011Oxysterols are oxygenated forms of cholesterol. This definition can, however, be expanded to include oxygenated derivatives of plant sterols and also of cholesterol precursors. Oxysterols are formed in the first steps of cholesterol metabolism and also from cholesterol by reactive oxygen species. Oxysterols were once thought of as simple intermediates,
