TL;DR: Recent theoretical and experimental studies indicate ways in which the lipid environment can alter the chemical potential of sterols, which may help to explain aspects of their transport kinetics and distribution.
128 citations
TL;DR: Nine sterols, most showing Δ 5 - or Δ 5,22 -unsaturation, were identified in the marine diatom Biddulphia sinensis, and a sterol showing unusual side-chain alkylation,23,24-dimethylcholesta-5,22 E -dien-3β-ol, was identified for the first time in a diatom.

TL;DR: The cholesterol content of cellular membranes is an important determinant in the ability of apolipoproteins to promote lipid removal from cells and may serve as a protective mechanism against the potentially damaging effects of excess membrane cholesterol.
127 citations
TL;DR: A review about some of the most important cholesterol oxidation products and the current knowledge of their adverse biological effects can be found in this paper, where products of cholesterol oxidation are discussed as a possible cause of arteriosclerotic lesions.

TL;DR: These studies reveal that HNF4alpha plays a central role in BA homeostasis by regulation of genes involved in BA biosynthesis, including hydroxylation and side chain beta-oxidation of cholesterol in vivo.
