Description
Cholesterol is a lipid analog, which is a cloudy lipid-like substance found in animal cell membranes. Cholesterol has important physiological roles in the human body. It is a precursor for maintaining the integrity and stability of cell membranes, synthesizing important hormones (e.g., sex hormones and adrenocorticotropic hormone) and vitamin D, and is involved in the synthesis of digestive juices. Normally, the body synthesizes its own cholesterol requirements and also ingests cholesterol through food.
