A series of cholesterol (Chol) probes with NBD and Dansyl fluorophores attached to the 3-hydroxyl position via carbamate linkers has been designed and synthesized and their ability to mimic the behavior of natural cholesterol in bilayer membranes has been examined.
Asprey responded that the American Heart Association recently announced that "dietary cholesterol is a nutrient of non-concern". What this means is that eating foods with natural cholesterol such as organic egg yolks and grass-fed butter doesn't have a meaningful impact on your health, but what is bad for your blood lipids is sugar, refined carbohydrates, and eating deep fried foods.
But humans also emit isoprene on our breath, and it's thought to be a byproduct of natural cholesterol synthesis in the body.
With the use of the enantiomeric cholesterol (ent-cholesterol)—which has the same effects on membrane properties as natural cholesterol [27] [29] we show that in both the prokaryotic and eukaryotic Kir channels the effects of cholesterol are due to direct enantioselective binding of cholesterol to the channel protein, and not an indirect effect due to changes in lipid bilayer properties.
However, the interpretation of such studies is not trivial since (a) mediation through accessory proteins cannot be excluded from recordings done in eukaryotic cell membranes and (b) epi- and natural cholesterol orient differently in membranes, and can thus alter membrane properties differently [22], [23].
This mechanism does not appear to be operative in old neurons, again most likely due to natural cholesterol loss.

The irony is, I'm crazy about your great natural cholesterol-reducing foods.
For the enzyme from Rhodococcus sp., moderate activities (relative to the natural substrate cholesterol) on β-sitosterol (80%% rel. activity) and stigmasterol (78%% rel. activity) were found by Wang et al. (2008) (Table 6, entries 6 and 7).
In summary, the anionic surfactant taurocholate is sufficient as additive for monitoring the enzyme activity of CgChoA with regard to the natural substrate cholesterol, while the presence of the non-ionic additive Triton X-100 did not affect the general kinetic behaviour.
