1. Chemistry. A steroid alcohol that is a major constituent of the lipid bilayer of cell membranes in humans and other vertebrates, and which serves other important cellular and metabolic functions, esp. as a precursor of other steroid compounds. Also called cholesterin n.Cholesterol is also a component of fatty plaques on artery walls (atheromas) and of certain types of gallstone. A high level of cholesterol-rich (low-density) lipoprotein in the blood is associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis. For many years cholesterol consumed in the diet was thought to be paramount in the process of atherogenesis, but its role is now considered to be much less certain.Formula: C₂₇H₄₅OH.bad cholesterol, good cholesterol: see the first element.
