Zusammenfassung:
The word "cholesterol"_x009d_ evokes fear in anyone worried about coronary artery disease. But what is this ubiquitous lipid and how harmful is it? Examine the key steps in cholesterol synthesis, learn about its important role in membranes, and discover where LDLs ("bad"_x009d_ cholesterol) and HDLs ("good"_x009d_) come from. It isn't cholesterol alone that is plugging arteries in atherosclerosis.
