Biology What is cholesterol? Cholesterol‚ a waxy substance produced by the liver and found in certain foods‚ is needed to make vitamin D and some hormones‚ build cell walls‚ and create bile salts that help you digest fat. our liver produces about 1‚000 milligrams of cholesterol a day‚ enough cholesterol for the body to be ok without food with colesterol but it’s hard to avoid cholesterol entirely because so many foods contain it. Consequences o high cholesterol. Too much cholesterol in the body

Mr. Brown all your tests look ok. Your triglycerides are at 145‚ cholesterol 210‚ hdl 33‚ and ldl 160.

CHAPTER 1 The Problem and its Setting Introduction Cholesterol is a chemical compound that is naturally produced by the body and is structurally a combination of lipid (fat) and steroids. Cholesterol is a building block for cell membrane and about 80% of the body’s cholesterol is produced by the liver‚ while the rest comes from our diet. The main sources of diet cholesterol are meat‚ poultry‚ fish and dairy products. After meal‚ dietary cholesterol is absorbed from the intestine and stored in the liver

structure and are cyclic lipids with various side groups. Cholesterol is an example of a steroid. It is important in the cell membrane as it stabilises it ensuring it does not become to like a fluid. If this were the case they would become too permeable to certain substances. However at the same time it prevents it becoming too rigid so cholesterol helps to prevent the cell membrane to maintain the correct consistency. However cholesterol is not the only lipid important for the plasma membrane‚ phospholipids

heart and liver tissues by serum albumin are fatty acids. Moved by the retinol binding protein is Vitamin A. There are steroid moverproteins that move steroids to the aimed cells. Majority of the body’s lipids(phospholipids‚ triacylglycerols and cholesterol)‚ are moved in the plasma by big complexes called lipoproteins. Lipoproteins makeup a center part of hydrophobic lipids encompassed by a shell of phosphotidyl glycerols and proteins. Protein parts of lipoproteins solubilize the hydrophobic lipids

Another word for "fats." Lipids can be more formally defined as substances such as a fat‚ oil or wax that dissolves in alcohol but not in water. Lipids contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen but have far less oxygen proportionally than carbohydrates. They are found in places as diverse as egg yolks and the human nervous system and are important component of plant‚ animal and microbial membranes A fatty or waxy are organic compound that is readily soluble in nonpolar solvent (e.g. ether)
