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. . Dr. Nikhat Siddiqi. 1. Overview.
