The body's cholesterol is made in the liver.

It is used in the liver to make bile acids where they are then stored in the gall bladder. Bile acids are used to dissolve fats from the food.

In addition, you should know,

  1. Cholesterol is needed to make every hormone in our bodies.
  2. Cholesterol composes almost 20% of our brain and nerves.
  3. Eskimo indians have a cholesterol total of 350-500, but they have the least heart troubles. Pacific islanders share similar results.
  4. Use of statin drugs, which is typically recommended by MDs when their patient has a number as low as 200, which is labeled as "high", has naturally led to an increase in the many variations of Alzheimer-type diseases (some of which can still be reversed by simply eating plenty of eggs and butter daily).
  5. Healthy cholesterol numbers are now considered to be between 220-290.
  6. Medical doctors (MDs) who say you need statin drugs with a total cholesterol of only 200 are merely drug pushers, educated in drug-pushing-funded universities. These doctors should be forced to live with Eskimos, not as punishment, but to save the MD from their average age of death, which is currently only 59. The public cannot afford to lose doctors, even ignorant MDs, at a younger age than the 80 year-olds they should be treating.

Total cholesterol is composed of HDL and LDL. One is "good" cholesterol, and the other is bad.

Bad cholesterol is made when the diet consists of too many fried foods and preferring well-done proteins, not simply because of saturated fats.

It is best to roast, stew, boil or steam meats, or grill to medium only. Eggs should be soft boiled or soft scrambled.

Bad cholesterol is also made from trans fats in diet, and also too many refined carbohydrates.

The goal is to have as much as possible of the "good" cholesterol, even if that means your total cholesterol number reaches 350. Thousands of Eskimo indians have demonstrated it's the healthiest range of total cholesterol.

Where does RNA and protein synthesis take place in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

In prokaryotes, RNA synthesis and protein synthesis takes place in the cytoplasm. In eukaryotes, RNA is produced in the cells nucleus and then moves to the cytoplasm to play a role in the production of protein.


What is the major sterol in the diet?

The major sterol in the diet is cholesterol. It is found in animal-based foods such as eggs, meat, and dairy products. Cholesterol is an essential component of cell membranes and is also a precursor for the synthesis of hormones and vitamin D in the body.


Where does lipid synthesis occurs in an animal cell?

Fatty acids synthesis starts with acetyl-CoA and builds up by the addition of two carbon units. The synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm in contrast to the degradation (oxidation), which occurs in the mitochondria. Many of the enzymes for the fatty acid synthesis are organized into a multienzyme complex called fatty acid synthetase. The major sites of fatty acid synthesis are adipose tissue and the liver


Where does protein synthesis take place in the cell?

Endoplasmic reticulum because ribosomes are present in it OR we can also say the cell organelle ribosomes because they are sites of protein synthesis


During what phase of the cell cycle does a lot of protein synthesis take place?

A lot of protein synthesis takes place in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. This phase follows cell division and precedes DNA replication. It is when the cell grows and prepares for DNA synthesis in the subsequent S phase.

What is the role of cholesterol in heart?

Cholesterol is either absorbed from food or made in the body. This synthesis can take place in most cells in the body including the cells of the heart, however cholesterol does not only come from the heart. Cholesterol can lead to clogging of arteries around the heart leading to heart problems.
