Abstract
Ozone as an endogenous compound? The discovery of 5,6-secosterol, a characteristic product of the in vitro ozonolysis of cholesterol, in atherosclerotic tissue (see picture) suggests that ozone is formed by biochemical processes. This and other typical products of oxidation may serve as indicators (“biomarkers”) of endogenous ozone.
