    GlossaryCholesterol Metabolism (Cholesterol Production)

    body's process of producing, using, and breaking down cholesterol

    Cholesterol metabolism refers to the processes by which the body synthesizes, utilizes, and breaks down cholesterol. This includes the production of cholesterol in the liver, its incorporation into cell membranes, its conversion into bile acids for digestion, and its removal from the body. Proper cholesterol metabolism is crucial for maintaining cellular function and overall health, and imbalances can lead to conditions such as cardiovascular disease.

Concerns include the complexity, cost, and potential side effects of such a treatment, as well as skepticism about its feasibility and market interest.
