    Glossary Cholesterol Homeostasis

    balance of cholesterol levels in the body

    Cholesterol homeostasis refers to the balance the body maintains to regulate cholesterol levels. This involves processes like cholesterol synthesis in the liver, dietary absorption, and removal from the body. Proper cholesterol homeostasis is crucial for cell membrane integrity and hormone production, while imbalances can lead to health issues like cardiovascular disease.
