Cholestenoic acids regulate motor neuron survival via liver X receptors.
Cholestenoic acids are formed as intermediates in metabolism of cholesterol to bile acids, and the biosynthetic enzymes that generate cholestenoic acids are expressed in the mammalian CNS. Here, we… Expand

Analysis of oxysterols by electrospray tandem mass spectrometry
Oxysterols are oxygenated derivatives of cholesterol. They are intermediates in cholesterol excretion pathways and may also be regarded as transport forms of cholesterol. The introduction of… Expand

Nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis of oxysterols in brain: monitoring of cholesterol autoxidation.
Oxysterols are present in mammalian brain at ng/g-μg/g levels while cholesterol is present at the mg/g level. This makes oxysterol analysis of brain challenging. In an effort to meet this challenge… Expand

Analysis of bioactive oxysterols in newborn mouse brain by LC/MS[S]
Unesterified cholesterol is a major component of plasma membranes. In the brain of the adult, it is mostly found in myelin sheaths, where it plays a major architectural role. In the newborn mouse,… Expand

On the formation of 7-ketocholesterol from 7-dehydrocholesterol in patients with CTX and SLO
A new mechanism for formation of 7-ketocholesterol was recently described involving cytochrome P-450 (CYP)7A1-catalyzed conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol into 7-ketocholesterol with… Expand

On the future of “omics”: lipidomics
SummaryFollowing in the wake of the genomic and proteomic revolutions new fields of “omics” research are emerging. The metabolome provides the natural complement to the genome and proteome, however,… Expand

Liver disease in infancy caused by oxysterol 7α-hydroxylase deficiency: successful treatment with chenodeoxycholic acid
A child of consanguineous parents of Pakistani origin developed jaundice at 5 weeks and then, at 3 months, irritability, a prolonged prothrombin time, a low albumin, and episodes of hypoglycaemia.… Expand

De novo sequencing of proteolytic peptides by a combination of C-terminal derivatization and nano-electrospray/ collision-induced dissociation mass spectrometry
A series of synthetic peptides (3–15 residues), C-terminally derivatized with 4-aminonaphthalenesulfonic acid (ansa), have been analyzed on a hybrid magnetic sector-orthogonal acceleration… Expand

Characterization of the elusive disulfide bridge forming human Hb variant: Hb Ta-Li β83 (EF7)Gly → Cys by electrospray mass spectrometry
An electrospray mass spectrometric approach to the identification of a human hemoglobin (Hb) variant involving a Cys residue incorporation is presented. In Hb Ta-Li (β83Gly → Cys), Cys83 forms… Expand
