Oxygenated derivatives of cholesterol (oxysterols) present a remarkably diverse profile of biological activities, including effects on sphingolipid metabolism, platelet aggregation, apoptosis, and ...

Oxysterols: modulators of cholesterol metabolism and other processes.

Material dealing with the chemistry, biochemistry, and biological activities of oxysterols is reviewed for the period 1987-1995. Particular attention is paid to the presence of oxysterols in tissues and foods and to their physiological relevance.

Review of progress in sterol oxidations: 1987–1995

Potential bile acid precursors in plasma—Possible indicators of biosynthetic pathways to cholic and chenodeoxycholic acids in man

Highly sensitive quantification of key regulatory oxysterols in biological samples by LC-ESI-MS/MS.

Increased plasma 7B-hydroxycholesterol concentrations in a population with high risk for cardiovascular disease.
