Abstract
Brown resinous substances are produced in cholesterol on melting or on heating in aqueous colloidal solution. At the same time chromogenic properties similar to those of oxycholesterol are acquired. Changes attributed by Shear and Kramer to ultra-violet irradiation in air and by Robertson to a catalyst present in brain tissue may accordingly be simulated by purely thermal means.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
