22(S)-Hydroxycholesterol modulates the lipid and glucose metabolism by acting on liver X receptors. It has the potential to reduce lipogenesis and the accumulation of lipids in hepatocytes, myotubes and non-adipose tissue. Extensive research has focused on 22(S)-Hydroxycholesterol due to its potential as a biomarker for various diseases and its involvement in diverse physiological and pathological processes. Animal models have been instrumental in studying the effects of 22(S)-Hydroxycholesterol on different physiological processes, including inflammation and immune function, and its interactions with cellular targets. 22(S)-Hydroxycholesterol interacts with various cellular receptors, such as the nuclear receptor PPARγ, LDL receptor, and scavenger receptor SR-BI. This binding subsequently triggers downstream signaling pathways involved in regulating cellular processes, including cholesterol metabolism, inflammation, and immune function.
