Product Description:
Cholesterol plays a critical role in the human body, primarily as a structural component of cell membranes, where it helps maintain membrane fluidity and integrity. It is also a precursor for the synthesis of essential molecules, including steroid hormones (such as cortisol, aldosterone, and sex hormones), vitamin D, and bile acids, which aid in the digestion of fats. In the pharmaceutical industry, cholesterol is used in the formulation of liposomes, which are drug delivery systems that improve the targeted delivery of therapeutic agents. Additionally, it is utilized in research laboratories as a standard in biochemical studies related to lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health. Its role in cellular signaling and membrane organization makes it a key focus in studies of diseases like atherosclerosis and other lipid-related disorders.
