A solid compound in blood; a steroid alcohol sterol made by the liver and present in all animal cells.

Cholesterol is a lipid, is the most plentiful steroid found in animal tissue and is an important component to the human body. It is manufactured in the liver and carried throughout the body in the bloodstream. It's required to build and maintain membranes, aids in absorption of fat soluble vitamins, precursor of vitamin D and steroid hormones (cortisol, aldosterone, prgesteron, estrogen and testosterone).

Mainly insoluble in drinking water, it travels within the blood stream by means of lipoproteins. At first, it really is carried through the intestinal mucosa towards the liver within chylomicrons. Within the liver it really is changed into low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in order to carries cholesterol towards the cells, whilst high-density lipoprotein (HDL) bears it returning to the liver for removal.

It really is interesting to notice that this cholesterol in BAD cholesterol and also the cholesterol within HDL cholesterol are similar. The only real difference between two may be the carrier chemical (i. e. the actual lipoprote.)
Cholesterol is stereos. This is what makes up organic molecule.
Cholesterol is a substance produced by the liver and is in certain foods. There are two kinds of cholesterol HDL and LDL. LDL is the good kind.
