Impact of Oxysterols on Cell Death, Proliferation, and Differentiation Induction: Current Status

open access: yesCells, 2021
Oxysterols are oxidized derivatives of cholesterol produced by enzymatic activity or non-enzymatic pathways (auto-oxidation). The oxidation processes lead to the synthesis of about 60 different oxysterols.

Effects of Oxysterols on Immune Cells and Related Diseases

open access: yesCells, 2022
Oxysterols are the products of cholesterol oxidation. They have a wide range of effects on several cells, organs, and systems in the body. Oxysterols also have an influence on the physiology of the immune system, from immune cell maturation and migration

Oxysterols in the Immune Response to Bacterial and Viral Infections

open access: yesCells, 2022
Oxidized cholesterols, the so-called oxysterols, are widely known to regulate cholesterol homeostasis. However, more recently oxysterols have emerged as important lipid mediators in the response to both bacterial and viral infections.

Dietary oxysterols are incorporated in plasma triglyceriderich lipoproteins, increase their susceptibility to oxidation and increase aortic cholesterol concentration of rabbits

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1998
Early fatty streaks and advanced lesions are characterized by the deposition of cholesterol and cholesterol oxidation products (oxysterols). Oxysterols have been shown to be cytotoxic and pro-atherogenic compared to cholesterol and are found in ...

Localization of sterols and oxysterols in mouse brain reveals distinct spatial cholesterol metabolism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Dysregulated cholesterol metabolism is implicated in a number of neurological disorders. Many sterols, including cholesterol and its precursors and metabolites, are biologically active and important for proper brain function. However, spatial cholesterol
