(American Chemical Society) Researchers are reporting that a little known type of cholesterol, oxycholesterol, may be a bigger heart disease threat than other forms of cholesterol.

The study could lead to new targets and treatments to prevent or reduce heart disease, the number one cause of death in the US.

The study is scheduled for presentation in August at the 238th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, held in Washington, D.C.
