The effects of cholesterol include:
1. Formation of bile acid
Bile is produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. It is released into the small intestine and mixed with digested fat. The function of bile is to convert large particles of fat into small particles, making it easier to interact with enzymes in the small intestine. In the tail of the small intestine, 85% to 95% of the bile is reabsorbed into the bloodstream, and the liver reabsorbs bile acid to continuously circulate. The remaining bile (5% to 15%) is excreted from the body with feces. The liver needs to produce new bile acid to compensate for this 5% to 15% loss, which requires cholesterol.
2. Forming the cell membrane
Cholesterol is an important component of the cell membrane, which surrounds every cell in the human body. Cholesterol is its basic component, accounting for over 20% of the plasma membrane lipids. Someone has found that feeding animals with cholesterol deficient foods increases the fragility of their red blood cells, which can easily cause cell rupture. Research has shown that at high temperatures, cholesterol can prevent the disorder of the bilayer; When the temperature is low, it can interfere with its ordering, prevent the formation of liquid crystals, and maintain their fluidity. Therefore, it can be imagined that without cholesterol, cells cannot maintain normal physiological functions and life will end.
3. Synthetic Hormones
Hormones are chemical messengers that coordinate the metabolic processes of different cells in a multicellular body, participating in the metabolism of various substances in the body, including sugars, proteins, fats, water, electrolytes, and minerals. They are crucial for maintaining normal physiological functions in the human body. The various hormones released by the adrenal cortex and gonads of the human body, such as cortisol, aldosterone,  estradiol, and vitamin D, are steroid hormones, and their precursors are cholesterol.
High cholesterol is certainly harmful to the body, but low cholesterol can also affect health. If the cholesterol level is too low, it often leads to a decrease in the synthesis of corticosteroids, leading to weakened stress ability, weakened immunity, and weakened normal disease resistance; Or it may lead to a decrease in the synthesis of sex hormones, affecting normal sexual function, which is not conducive to human health.
