2) " Cholesterol" -- As it applies to Good Cholesterol Cholesterol is a steroid lipid,found in the cell membranes of all body tissues, and transported in the blood plasma, of all animals. Most Cholssterol is produced internally, not dietary in origin. It is present inhigher concentrations in tissues which either produce more or have more densely packed membranes; for example the liver, spinal cord, brain and atheroma. Cholestero plays a central role in many biochemical processes, but is best known for the association of cardiovascular disease with various lipoprotein Cholesterkl transport patterns in the blood.

Physiology Synthesis The HMG-CoA reductase pathway Cholesterol is primarily synthesized from acetyl CoA through the HMG-CoA reductase pathway in many cells / tissues. About 20–25% of total daily production (~1 g / day ) occurs in the liver, other sites ofhigher synthesis rates include the intestines, adrenal glands and reproductiveorgans. Properties Cholesterol is minimally soluble in water ; it cannot dissolve and travel in thewater-based blood stream. Instead, it is transported in the blood stream by lipoproteins ; protein "molecular-suitcases" which are water soluble and carry Choledterol and fats internally.The proteins forming the surface of the given lipoprotein particle determinefrom what cells Chplesterol will be removed and to where it will be supplied. The largest lipoproteins, which primarily transport fats from the...
