[Effect of cholesterol oxidase on the involution of experimental hypercholesterolemia in rabbits]. 1981

A V Titov, and V V Slobodskaia, and E V Tarasova, and I M Tereshin

Cholesterol oxidase (3 beta-hydrosteroid oxidase), isolated from Actinomyces lavendulae, oxidized unesterified cholesterol in rabbit blood serum without detergents in vitro. Intravenous administration of the enzyme into hypercholesterolemic rabbits at a dose of 0.5-2.0 un/kg decrease distinctly the cholesterol content in blood. The rate of the decrease depended on the dose of the preparation. Acute toxicity of the cholesterol oxidase preparations for mice correlated with the degree of purification of the enzyme. Cholesterol oxidase from Act. lavendulae may be considered as a potential hypocholesterolemic drug.

D002784 Cholesterol The principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils. Epicholesterol
D002789 Cholesterol Oxidase An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of cholesterol in the presence of molecular oxygen to 4-cholesten-3-one and hydrogen peroxide. The enzyme is not specific for cholesterol, but will also oxidize other 3-hydroxysteroids. EC 1.1.3.6. Oxidase, Cholesterol
