Cholesterol:
Cholesterol is a fatty acid essential for the body’s function, produced by the liver. It passes into the bile and is then absorbed by the intestines.
- Two-thirdsof cholesterol comes from bile, while one-third comes from food intake.
- Cholesterol is insoluble in bloodand requires proteins for transport:
- Low-density lipoproteins (LDL or “bad” cholesterol)transport cholesterol from the liver to the body.
- High LDL levels are linked to cardiovascular risk.
- Ideal level: below 1.99 g/L.
- High-density lipoproteins (HDL or “good” cholesterol)transport cholesterol back to the liver.
- Normal level: 0.4 – 0.6 g/L.
- High cholesterol levelslead to atherosclerotic plaque formation, consisting of:
- A necrotic core
- A fibrous layer
- 10% cholesterol, 70% calcium & fibrinogen
- This can result in myocardial infarction (heart attack).
The risk of atherosclerosis is proportional to the circulating lipoprotein concentration.
Role of Cholesterol:
Cholesterol is a major component of animal cell membranes.
- It maintains membrane fluidity, preventing fatty acid crystallization.
- At 37°C, it limits phospholipid movement, reducing membrane fluidity.
- At lower temperatures, it prevents phospholipid crowding.
- It helps form lipid rafts, anchoring functional proteins.
- It contributes to neurotransmitter release during exocytosis.
Cholesterol is a precursor of several essential molecules, including:
- Steroid hormones(cortisol, cortisone, aldosterone)
- Sex steroid hormones(progesterone, estrogen, testosterone)
- Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3)
- Heme A
- Phenyl proteins
- Ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10)
- Dolichol
- Nuclear factor NF-kappa B
- Tau protein
- Bile salts
Causes of Hypercholesterolemia:
- Genetic or familial origins:Hypercholesterolemia is not necessarily inherited by an entire generation but tends to run in families.
- Medication use:Diuretics, corticosteroids, and some oral contraceptives.
- Certain diseases:Kidney disease, thyroid disorders, diabetes.
- Poor lifestyle habits & lack of physical activity.
Recommendations:
- Avoidfried foods, cooking oils, fatty dairy products, and processed meats.
- Opt forolive oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, and foods rich in Omega-3 & Omega-6.
- Increase consumption offish, fruits, and vegetables.
- Eliminaterefined sugars and alcohol.
- Reduce stress factors.
