Product Description
Cholesterol#57-88-5
Cholesterol is a waxy, fatty substance that exists in all cells of the body. It is produced in the liver, but can also be found in some foods. Cholesterol is essential for the normal functioning of the body as it helps in the production of hormones, vitamin D and bile acids. Cholesterol is carried in the blood through proteins, and proteins and cholesterol combine through proteins, which are called lipoproteins.
