It is synthesized in our body when we are animal.
00:25
Okay, we have animal cells.
00:27

00:32
Okay.
00:33
For cell membranes and also for production of...
00:35
Of many hormones, hormone production, and also for cell membrane structures.
00:45
Okay, for example, talking about hormone production, it is going to, it is a precursor for chesteroid hormones, for example, cortisol, okay? cholesterol is important for production of cortisol.
01:00
It is also important for production of bile acids, okay, and also vitamin.
01:06
So it is important precursor for our hormone production in these cases.
01:13
Also it is important for cell membrane fluidity, okay? remember that when you have here your cell membrane, you also have cholesterol, like around here for example, cholesterol.
01:29
And cholesterol is going to alter the membrane fluidity...
