Abstract
Using isotope dilution mass spectrometry, 26-hydroxycholesterol was identified in the serum of normal adults. Total values ranged from 9.2 to 25.6 micrograms/100 ml of which 31-35% was free sterol. Density gradient ultracentrifugation indicates that the steroid is distributed among the low and high density lipoproteins.
