A reagent selected from cholestenoic acid or an inhibitor of an enzyme in the cholestenoic acid biosynthetic or metabolic pathway for use in the treatment of neurodegenerative conditions. In particular, the reagent is a cholestenoic acid of a particular form, such as 3β,7α-dihydroxycholest-5 -en-26-oic (3β,7α-di HCA), not previously associated with neural tissue or CSF. Pharmaceutical compositions, methods of treatment or prevention of neurodegenerative conditions as well as diagnostic methods and novel biomarkers form further aspects of the invention.
