Cholesterol is the principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils. [3] [4] Cholesterol is biosynthesized by all animal cells [citation needed] and is an essential structural and signaling component of animal cell membranes.
Delivery of HDL cholesterol to adrenals, ovaries, and testes is important for the synthesis of steroid hormones. [2] Several steps in the metabolism of HDL can participate in the transport of cholesterol from lipid-laden macrophages of atherosclerotic arteries, termed foam cells, to the liver for secretion into

“In the muscle-centric world, every gram of muscle loss seems like a tragedy,” Phillips says. “But as far as your body is concerned, it’s a low priority.”
HMG-CoA reductase (3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase, official symbol HMGCR) is the rate-controlling enzyme (NADH-dependent, EC 1.1.1.88; NADPH-dependent, EC 1.1.1.34) of the mevalonate pathway, the metabolic pathway that produces cholesterol and other isoprenoids.
Losing weight on a GLP-1 can lead to muscle loss, research shows. ... RD, is the Canada Research Chair in Integrative Nutrition, Body Composition, and Energy Metabolism at the University of Alberta.
It is recommended to be used together with dietary changes, exercise, and weight loss. [6] It is taken orally (by mouth). [6] Common side effects include abdominal pain, nausea, headaches, and muscle pains. [6] Serious side effects may include rhabdomyolysis, liver problems, and diabetes.
