Oxidation of 7-dehydrocholesterol by a mouse liver microsomal system dependent on reduced pyridine nucleotides

Aerobic incubation of 7-dehydrocholesterol with mouse liver microsomes in the presence of a detergent, an iron salt, and NADH or NADPH resulted in the conversion of the sterol to more polar products. In the presence of Fe3+ or low levels of Fe2+ the reaction was dependent upon reduced pyridine nucle...
