Rapid hepatic metabolism of 7-ketocholesterol in vivo: implications for dietary oxysterols
7-Ketocholesterol is a major dietary oxysterol and the predominant non-enzymically formed oxysterol in human atherosclerotic plaque. We tested the hypothesis that 7-ketocholesterol is preferentially retained by tissues relative to cholesterol in vivo. To ensure rapid tissue uptake, acetylated low de...
