Description

Cholesterol is a sterol that is an important structural component of cell membranes. It also aids in the production of hormones and bile acids, as well as being an essential component of the human diet. Cholesterol is produced in the liver and can be ingested from animal products such as meat, eggs, poultry and dairy products. Furthermore, cholesterol can be found in some plant foods like avocado, nuts, seeds and vegetable oils. The body's ability to regulate cholesterol levels is determined by the balance between synthesis and elimination pathways. In addition to its role as a structural molecule for all cells in the body, cholesterol plays a key role in maintaining membrane fluidity. This property makes it highly insoluble in water because it resists breaking down into simpler substances.

Cholesterol has been shown to have enzyme activities that are relevant to co2 flow and p-hydroxybenzoic acid metabolism in vitro. Additionally, cholesterol has been implicated as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to
