The GSL Oxysterol & Sterol Metabolism Panel supports targeted LC-MS/MS analysis of cholesterol-related metabolites, oxysterols, sterol oxidation products, and sterol pathway biomarkers.

What This Panel Measures

Representative analyte classes may include:

  • Cholesterol and cholesterol sulfate
  • Hydroxycholesterols
  • Ketocholesterols
  • Epoxycholesterol metabolites
  • Sterol intermediates
  • Selected sterol oxidation products

Representative Analytes

Representative analytes may include cholesterol, cholesterol sulfate, 4β-hydroxycholesterol, 7α-hydroxycholesterol, 7β-hydroxycholesterol, 24-hydroxycholesterol, 25-hydroxycholesterol, 26-hydroxycholesterol, 20α-hydroxycholesterol, 22β-hydroxycholesterol, 7-ketocholesterol, epoxycholesterol metabolites, lathosterol, dehydrocholesterol-related metabolites, and selected sterol oxidation products.

Sample Types

Serum/plasma, tissue, cells, extracts, and other research matrices may be supported depending on project needs.
