4-Hydroxynonenal (HNE) is by far the most investigated aldehydic end-product of oxidative breakdown of membrane n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Its potential involvement in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis has been corroborated by its consistent detection in both oxidized LDL and fibrotic plaque

Experimental evidence indicates a relationship between cholesterol a-epoxide and skin cancer, and exposure of skin fibroblasts to ultraviolet radiation enduces formation of significant levels of this oxide. Colon cancer is also etiologically linked to cholesterol oxidation products. Higher than norm
For measurement of the concentration of oxidised cholesterols in foodstuffs, a method was developed by adapting the well-known enzymatic determination of cholesterol. A linear correlation was found between the absorbance measured after enzymatic reaction and the concentrations of 7a- hydroxycholeste
