Cholesterol is the precursor of bile acid, steroid hormones and vitamin D.
Sex hormones, Vitamin D, and Bile.
steroids (bile salts, vitamin D, sex hormones, adrenocortical hormones)
Cholesterol is a precursor for other important steroid molecules: the bile salts, steroid hormones, and vitamin D. -Gem :) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK22339/
Cholesterol moves through the bloodstream to be used by all parts of the body,and it helps the body to produce hormones, bile acid, and Vitamin D
Cholesterol is the lipid used as the precursor for vitamin D synthesis, sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen, and bile acids. It plays a crucial role in the production of these important molecules in the body.
Cholesterol is used in the body to create hormones. It also is used to create bile and small amounts of Vitamin D.
Cholesterol is important for forming cell membranes, producing hormones like estrogen and testosterone, and aiding in the digestion of fats. It also helps in the production of Vitamin D and bile acids necessary for fat digestion.
Cholesterol gives these benefits in your body:Membrane fluidity in cell membranesDigestion (Cholesterol is used to make bile salts to help emulsify fats in the diet)Hormones (Cholesterol can be made into body hormones)Vitamin D (Cholesterol can be made into vitamin D in skin)
Vitamin A
Bile comes from gall bladder. It contains the bile salts. These salts are responsible for emulsification of the fat in your food. that means very fine fat globules are formed. this helps to increase the surface area of the fat. That helps the fat splitting enzyme to brake the fat molecule into three molecules of fatty acids and one molecule of glycerol.
No, bile is not a hormone. Bile is a digestive fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, which helps in the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine. Hormones are chemical messengers produced by glands that regulate various physiological processes in the body.
