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 ...

Circulating Oxysterols in Alzheimer’s disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis [PDF]
, 2022 Despite decades of research, the cause and series of events underlying the advancement of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has not yet been established. Lipids and especially cholesterol levels have been proposed to be implicated in AD. Several studies have been

Simvastatin reduces circulating oxysterol levels in men with hypercholesterolaemia
Redox Biology, 2018 Oxysterols (OHC) are biologically active cholesterol metabolites circulating in plasma that may be formed enzymatically (e.g. 24S-OHC, 25-OHC and 27-OHC) or by autoxidative mechanisms (e.g. 7-ketocholesterol, 7β-OHC and 25-OHC).
