When the blood cholesterol is too high, it forms deposits or plaque inside the walls of arteries. Learning outcome. Most cholesterol is synthesised by the liver from saturated fats in the diet. Cholesterol is a component of cell membranes and a precursor for steroid synthesis. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) transports excess cholesterol from the body cells to the liver for elimination. This prevents accumulation of cholesterol in the blood. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) transports cholesterol to body cells. Most cells have LDL receptors that take LDL into the cell where it releases cholesterol. Once a cell has sufficient cholesterol a negative feedback system inhibits the synthesis of new LDL receptors and LDL circulates in the blood where it may deposit cholesterol in the arteries forming atheromas. A higher ratio of HDL to LDL will result in lower blood cholesterol and a reduced chance of atherosclerosis. . Cholesterol. Is the most abundant . steroid. in the body..
