Abstract
⺠Side-chain oxidized oxysterols are important as transport forms for cholesterol. ⺠Oxysterols are not the master regulators of cholesterol homeostasis suggested previously. ⺠7α-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one is an important intermediate in bile acid synthesis. ⺠24S-Hydroxylation is important for elimination of brain cholesterol.
