Cholesterol metabolism in humans is complex. Cholesterol is either supplied from the diet (exogenous) or synthesized de novo by many cells of the body (endogenous). The major factors in the diet that may increase the blood cholesterol level are high intakes of cholesterol itself, or of saturated fats and excessive calories. The liver is one of the major sites of endogenous cholesterol synthesis. The pool of cholesterol in the liver is tightly regulated and reflects the input of cholesterol from the diet, the biosynthesis of cholesterol, the secretion and uptake of cholesterol from plasma lipoproteins, the conversion of cholesterol into bile, and the reuptake of biliary cholesterol and bile acids from the intestine to the liver. The metabolic exogenous and endogenous pathways of cholesterol metabolism are described in this chapter. The concentration of cholesterol in the blood in fasting normal humans is the result of the metabolism of cholesterol from exogenous and endogenous sources. Environmental factors such as dietary fatty acids, and metabolic perturbations such as diabetes and obesity as well as genetic factors also influence the level of cholesterol in blood. Consequently, after several decades, hypercholesterolemia causes atherosclerotic vascular disease.
