Autoxidation of cholesterol in aqueous dispersions and in monomolecular films

The autoxidative formation of 7-ketocholesterol and diols from aqueous cholesterol dispersions and from cholesterol monomolecular films has been studied as a function of time. The rate of oxidation of cholesterol is much faster at the surface than in the bulk. Whereas more than one-half of the chole...
