Cholesterol is a water-insoluble fat essential to the human body. Among other things, it is part of structural cell membranes. Cholesterol in the body can be exogenous, meaning it is supplied with food and then absorbed. It is produced only in animal organisms since plants cannot synthesize this compound.
