Cholesterol-d6 is a deuterium-labeled version of cholesterol, a vital sterol that plays a crucial role in cell membrane structure and function, as well as in the synthesis of steroid hormones and bile acids. The deuterium labeling enhances its utility in mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, enabling precise tracking of cholesterol in metabolic studies. This labeled cholesterol is valuable for researching lipid metabolism, cholesterol transport, and the effects of cholesterol in various diseases. It also aids in the development and validation of analytical methods for cholesterol quantification in biological and clinical research.
