the cell membranes of all tissues in the body, and
transported in the plasma of all animals. It is produced daily in the liver (endogenous
origin), every day from 1.5g - 2g. The source of exogenous cholesterol is from eating
animal fats. Cholesterol is present in high concentrations in tissues that synthesize it or
have dense membranes, such as the liver, spinal cord, brain, and atherosclerotic plaques.
Cholesterol plays a central role in many biochemical processes, but is best known for its
association with cardiovascular disease caused by elevated blood cholesterol levels.

Types of cholesterol (HDL, LDL, and VLDL)

HDL, LDL, and VLDL are lipoproteins. They are a combination of fat (lipid) and protein.
The lipids need to be attached to the proteins so they can move through the blood.
Different types of lipoproteins have different purposes:
HDL stands for high-density lipoprotein. It is sometimes called "good" cholesterol
because it carries cholesterol from other parts of your body back to your liver.
Your liver then removes the cholesterol from your body.
LDL stands for low-density lipoprotein. It is sometimes called "bad" cholesterol
because a high LDL level leads to the buildup of plaque in your arteries.
VLDL stands for very low-density lipoprotein. Some people also call VLDL a
"bad" cholesterol because it too contributes to the buildup of plaque in your
arteries. But VLDL and LDL are different; VLDL mainly carries triglycerides and
LDL mainly carries cholesterol.

cell membranes, which helps keep
membrane fluidity stable over a wider
range of temperatures. The hydroxyl group
on the molecule interacts with the
phosphate end of the membrane, while the
steroid residues and hydrocarbon chains are
deeply embedded in the membrane. It is a
major precursor for the synthesis of vitamin
D, many steroid hormones, including
cortisol, cortisone, and aldosterone in the
adrenal glands, and the sex hormones
progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone. Recent studies show that cholesterol has
important roles in brain synapses as well as the immune system, including fighting
cancer.
