Oxysterols or cholesterol oxidation products are a class of molecules with the sterol moiety,
derived from oxidative reaction of cholesterol through enzymatic and non-enzymatic …

Oxysterols resulting from spontaneous or enzymatic oxidation of cholesterol are present in
numerous foodstuffs and have been identified at increased levels in the plasma and the …

Ageing is accompanied by increasing vulnerability to major pathologies (atherosclerosis,
Alzheimer's disease, age-related macular degeneration, cataract, and osteoporosis) which …

Oxysterols (oxidized derivatives of cholesterol and phytosterols) can be generated in the
human organism through different oxidation processes, some requiring enzymes …

Oxysterols are oxygenated derivatives of cholesterol with a very short life-time relative to
cholesterol. Oxysterols are present in nanomolar concentrations in biological fluids …

Oxysterols, resulting from the oxidation of cholesterol, are formed either by autoxidation,
enzymatically, or by both processes. These molecules, which are provided in more or less …

Delaying and even reversing ageing is a major public health challenge with a tremendous
potential to postpone a plethora of diseases including cancer, metabolic syndromes and …
