It is well known to the general public, mainly for the devastating effects it has on health when in high concentration. However, in normal concentrations it is a unique biological molecule with multiple functions of vital importance to the human body and other species in nature.<\/p>\n<p>From reproduction, the transport of nutrients, the structural integrity of cell membranes to the production of enough oestrogen by the placenta to prevent miscarriage of the foetus, cholesterol is the key molecule to carry out these functions.<\/p>\n<p>For endocrinology, cholesterol is a molecule of unique importance, as it creates the basis from which important hormones for survival and reproduction are produced, such as cortisol and aldosterone, oestrogen and testosterone, respectively. Vitamin D is also synthesised from cholesterol and important vitamins such as vitamin K and E are transported via cholesterol.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pavlatou.gr\/en\/cholesterol\/#ti-einai-cholesterol\" class=\"button secondary is-link is-xsmall lowercase\"  >\n    <span>Top<\/span>\n  <i class=\"icon-angle-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/i><\/a>\n\n\t<div id=\"gap-1807033153\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1807033153 {\n  padding-top: 50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<h2 id=\"typoi\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\">What are the different types of cholesterol?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\" style=\"max-width:30%;background-color:rgb(155, 0, 128);\"><\/div>\n\t<div id=\"gap-1636917687\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1636917687 {\n  padding-top: 20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>The different types of cholesterol are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Total Cholesterol<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LDL Cholesterol (bad cholesterol)<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 HDL Cholesterol (good cholesterol)<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Triglycerides.
