TABLE 3.
Levels of oxysterols, 7-dehydrocholesterol, and cholesterol-7,8-epoxide in the circulation of three SLO patients
Steroid | SLO Patient 1 | SLO Patient 2 | SLO Patient 3 |
7α-Hydroxycholesterol (μg/ml) | 0.03 | 0.03 | 0.02 |
7β-Hydroxycholesterol (μg)ml) | 0.03 | 0.03 | 0.03 |
7-Ketocholesterol (μg/ml) | 0.10 | 0.73 | 0.41 |
7-Dehydrocholesterol (μg/ml) | 228 | 200 | 282 |
Cholesterol-7,8-epoxide (μg/ml) | 2.1 | 2.7 | 3.6 |
Values were determined by GC-MS and are for the sum of esterified and nonesterified sterols.
