Notes: Naturally occurring oxysterols are products of cholesterol oxidation that can stimulate the hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway in target cells associated with cardiovascular disease and with bone formation.{18498} Depending on the target cell, activation of Hh signaling can modulate inflammatory responses to additional atherogenic factors such as lesion-producing macrophages or enable osteoblast differentiation.{18500,18499} Oxy-16 is a synthetic oxysterol compound that may function as an antagonist of hedgehog activity. Published data regarding its efficacy remains forthcoming.
