The metabolism of 27-, 25- and 24-hydroxycholesterol in cultures of rat astrocytes, Schwann cells and neurons was studied. 27- and 25-Hydroxycholesterol, but not 24-hydroxycholesterol, underwent 7 alpha-hydroxylation with subsequent oxidation to 7 alpha-hydroxy-3-oxo-delta 4 steroids in all three cell types.

We have previously demonstrated that the rat brain contains three unconjugated bile acids, and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) is the most abundantly present in a tight protein binding form. The ratio of CDCA to the other acids in rat brain tissue

The regulation of bile acid synthesis was studied in rabbits after interruption of the enterohepatic circulation by choledochoureteral anastomosis. Total daily bile acid output was 772 +/- 130 (SD) mumol/24 h, of which greater than 95% was glycocholic acid. Administration

Rat liver peroxisomes have been found to oxidize 26-hydroxycholesterol, the product of cholesterol C-26 hydroxylation to 3 beta-hydroxy-5-cholenoic acid. Peroxisomes were purified by differential and equilibrium density centrifugation in a steep linear metrizamide gradient to greater than 95% purity. Purity
