  1. Cholesterol oxidation in the retina: implications of 7KCh formation in chronic inflammation and age-related macular degeneration

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of lipid research 2010-06-21 Brain scans and imaging

    This review will discuss the formation and potential implications of 7-ketocholesterol (7KCh) in the retina. 7KCh is a proinflammatory oxysterol known to be present in high amounts in oxidized LDL deposits associated with atheromatous plaques. 7KCh is generated in situ in these lipoprotein deposits where it can accumulate and reach very high concentrations.

  2. Role of by-products of lipid oxidation in Alzheimer's disease brain: a focus on acrolein

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2010-01-01 Genetics

    Abundant data consistently support the idea that oxidative stress occurs and is a constant feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  3. Cholesterol oxidation products and disease: an emerging topic of interest in medicinal chemistry

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Current medicinal chemistry 2009-01-01 Drug development

    Oxysterols are a family of 27-carbon cholesterol oxidation derivatives that may be absorbed with the diet or originated endogenously.

  4. Protein glycation, oxidation and nitration adduct residues and free adducts of cerebrospinal fluid in Alzheimer's disease and link to cognitive impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of neurochemistry 2005-01-01 Tau biomarkers

    Increased damage to proteins by glycation, oxidation and nitration has been implicated in neuronal cell death leading to Alzheimer's disease (AD).
