Cholestenol

Cholestenol refers to any sterol compound that differs from cholestane by the addition of a double bond and an alcohol group. By the definition of sterols, the alcohol group appears at the C-3 position; the position of the double bond is not fixed.

Allocholesterol is Δ-4-Cholestenol.
Cholesterol is Δ5-cholestenol.
- Epicholesterol is an epimer, 3α-Cholesterol.
Lathosterol is Δ7-cholestenol. It has been found in the skins of rats.^[1] It can be converted to cholesterol in mammals.^[2]
Zymostenol is Δ-8-Cholestenol.
