TLDR
The formation of 5alpha,6alpha- and 5beta,6beta-epoxides of cholesterol and beta-sitosterol in rat liver subcellular fractions has been studied and it is shown that the epoxidation seems to occur only in connection with the nonspecific tissue oxidation of the sterols.

Oxysterols: modulators of cholesterol metabolism and other processes.

TL;DR: This review comprises a detailed and critical assessment of current knowledge regarding the formation, occurrence, metabolism, regulatory properties, and other activities of oxysterols in mammalian systems.

Linoleic acid peroxidation--the dominant lipid peroxidation process in low density lipoprotein--and its relationship to chronic diseases.

TL;DR: Modern separation and identification methods enable detailed insight in lipid peroxidation (LPO) processes and it is shown that HODEs, derived from LA, hydroxyoctadecadienoic acids (HODEs), surmount other markers of LPO.

Oxysterols: A world to explore

TL;DR: Current knowledge suggests phytosterol oxidation products may also cause cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic effects, although at higher concentrations than COPs, which is not clear yet.

Mammalian epoxide hydrolases in xenobiotic metabolism and signalling

TL;DR: Takeaway is that epoxide hydrolases play a central role in the detoxification of genotoxic epoxides and have an important function in the regulation of physiological processes by the control of signalling molecules with an epoxide structure.

Liquid-gel chromatography on lipophilic-hydrophobic Sephadex derivatives.

TL;DR: Hydrophobic long-chain alkyl ethers of Sephadex have been synthesized and tested for use in liquid chromatography and should be a useful complement to other chromatographic methods.
