Cholesterol(CAT: I013796) is a sterol molecule that is a vital component of cell membranes in animals. Cholesterol is produced naturally in the liver and is also obtained through the diet, primarily from animal sources such as meat, eggs, and dairy products. It is transported in the bloodstream in lipoprotein particles and is used by cells to build and maintain healthy cell membranes and produce hormones such as estrogen and testosterone.
