Cholesterol

hello class  I will speak about cholesterol, as it is a very important issue in the lives of people
Cholesterol is a sterol (lipid) found in body tissues and bloodplasma of vertebrates. It occurs in high concentrations in the liver, bone marrow, pancreas and brain.
The chemical formula of cholesterol is represented in twoways: C27H46O / C27H45OH.

There are two types of cholesterol: good cholesterol and bad cholesterol

The 'good' cholesterol, or HDL, is not only necessary for the body, it is recommended toincrease their numbers in the blood when there is risk of atherosclerosis, because it helps to synthesize the bad cholesterol that builds up in artery walls .
The problem ofbad cholesterol is in excess, it accumulates in the arteries and impedes the passage of oxygen through the blood, which makes the work of the heart and brain.Total cholesterol level
