General description

22(S)-hydroxycholesterol is a stereo isoform of the 22(R)-hydroxycholesterol.

Biochem/physiol Actions

22(S)-hydroxycholesterol (22(S)-HC) promotes glucose catabolism and uptake. It is regarded as a potential target to treat type 2 diabetes. 22(S)-HC also prevents the accumulation of lipids and lipid synthesis in hepatocytes and myotubes. It shows no interaction with liver X receptor (LXR) like 22(R)-hydroxycholesterol and is not estrogenic.

Cholesterol 25-hydroxylase (CH25H) catalyzes the production of 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-HC), an oxysterol that can play an important role in different biological processes. However, the mechanisms regulating CH25H expression have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we determined that CH25H is

In order to test the estrogenic activity of sterol oxidation products from cholesterol and phytosterols, an estrogen-dependent gene expression assay was performed in estrogen receptor alpha-stably transformed HeLa cells. The ranking of the estrogenic potency of these compounds was different:
