Side effects of oxysterols: cytotoxicity, oxidation, inflammation, and phospholipidosis.
Oxysterols are 27-carbon atom molecules resulting from autoxidation or enzymatic oxidation of cholesterol. They are present in numerous foodstuffs and have been demonstrated to be present at increased levels in the plasma of patients with cardiovascular diseases and in atherosclerotic lesions. Thus, their role in lipid disorders is widely suspected, and they might also be involved in important ...
متن کاملSide-Chain Oxysterols Modulate Cholesterol Accessibility through Membrane Remodeling
Side-chain oxysterols, such as 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-HC), are key regulators of cholesterol homeostasis. New evidence suggests that the alteration of membrane structure by 25-HC contributes to its regulatory effects. We have examined the role of oxysterol membrane effects on cholesterol accessibility within the membrane using perfringolysin O (PFO), a cholesterol-dependent cytolysin that se...
متن کاملEndogenous B-ring oxysterols inhibit the Hedgehog component Smoothened in a manner distinct from cyclopamine or side-chain oxysterols.
Cellular lipids are speculated to act as key intermediates in Hedgehog signal transduction, but their precise identity and function remain enigmatic. In an effort to identify such lipids, we pursued a Hedgehog pathway inhibitory activity that is particularly abundant in flagellar lipids of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, resulting in the purification and identification of ergosterol endoperoxide, a ...
متن کاملP 95: Result of Alcohol Excessive Drinking in the Brain and Varying Mental Health Side Effects
Alcohol directly affects astroglial cell function, including inflammation-related activity. And it also affects microglial cell development and function in specific ways that interfere with microglial interactions with the immune system and with neurons. Neuroinflammatory processes might be involved in alcohol-induced brain damage. Alcohol use, misuse and getting used to it causes differe...

10.1056/nejmp0912181 nejm.org 1 policies directly to individuals now charge premiums based to some extent on characteristics thought to predict the risk of high-cost conditions; insurers also exclude some or all preexisting conditions from coverage and simply refuse to cover some people. Without such “risk rating” and coverage exclusions, insurers would be subject to substantial adverse selecti...
