Abstract
The oxidation products of cholesterol oxidized by different dioxygen species, hydroxyl radical, or triatomic species ozone variously implicated in biological oxidtions are compared. Some products are unique to the oxygen species involved, whereas others, such as the isomeric cholesterol 5,6-epoxides, are formed broadly by many oxygen species. The resolution of the isomeric cholesterol 5,6-epoxides by capillary column gas chromatography on SE-30 or SE-54 has been achieved.
