A fluorescent cholesterol analog traces cholesterol absorption in hamsters and is esterified in vivo and in vitro

The fluorescent cholesterol analog 22-(N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino)-23,24-bisnor-5-cholen-3β-ol (fluoresterol) was characterized as a tool for exploring the biochemistry and cell biology of intestinal cholesterol absorption. Hamsters absorbed fluoresterol in a concentration- and time-...
