What is Cholesterol?. A waxy substance – technically a sterol (unsaturated steroid alcohol). 75% of your cholesterol is made in your liver, the rest is absorbed from food. Cholesterol travels in particles called lipoproteins: high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and low-Density Lipoproteins (LDL). BIOSYNTHESIS OF CHOLESTEROL. Cholesterol is doubtless the most publicized lipid, notorious because of the strong correlation between high levels of cholesterol in the blood and the incidence of human cardiovascular diseases..
