Cholesterol-derived oxysterols such as cholestanol, cholestanone and coprostanone were able to potentiate epinephrine-induced lipolysis in intact rat adipocytes but not cholesterol. The relative potency of the oxysterols followed the sequence: cholestanone > or = coprostanone > cholestanol. Cholestanone was selected

After oral administration of a mixture of [1,2(n)-3H]cholesterol and [4-14C]cholesterol to a baboon, fecal coprostanone had a 46% lower 3H/14C ratio than the dose administered. Loss of 3H by enolization of the 3-ketone could account for the decrease in 3H/14C.

The effects of cholesterol and cholesterol-derived oxysterols (cholestanone, cholestenone, coprostanone and epicoprostanol) on adipocyte ghost membrane fluidity were studied using a fluorescence depolarization method. The fluorescence anisotropy of the treated membranes was determined using 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) and 1-(4-trimethylammoniumphenyl)-6-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (TMA-DPH). Cholestanone
