5-Lipoxygenase (5-LO) is the key enzyme in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes (LTs), biological mediators of host defense reactions and of inflammatory diseases. While the role of membrane binding in the regulation of 5-LO activity is well established, the effects of
Most work reporting the sterol composition of living organisms has not been done quantitatively, although good quantitative data are available for fatty acids and many other cellular components using an internal-standard method that compensates for errors during gas chromatographic analysis.

Small particles of two steroids, cholesteryl acetate and beta-sitosterol, were prepared by the following technique. The steroid was dissolved in an organic solvent, which was emulsified in water in the presence of surfactant, thus giving a water-continuous emulsion. As the

In this work, electron-impact mass spectroscopy (EI-MS) was employed on a wide range of sterol compounds in order to study their behaviour with regard to their functional groups. In particular, some specific mechanisms of fragmentation occurring in these substrates (i.e.
