Formation and metabolism in vitro of 5,6-epoxides of cholesterol and β-sitosterol
The formation of 5α,6α- and 5β,6β-epoxides of cholesterol and β-sitosterol in rat liver subcellular fractions has been studied. The results show that the epoxidation seems to occur only in connection with the nonspecific tissue oxidation of the sterols. The β-epoxides were formed in three- to fourfo...
