Definition of cholesterol
CHOLESTEROL: A soft, waxy substance (lipid/fat) found in the bloodstream, and in all human and animal cells. Cholesterol is an important part of a healthy body because it is used to form cell membranes, some hormones and is needed for other body functions. In addition to the total cholesterol level found in the bloodstream, two specific types of cholesterol are commonly referenced: (1) LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol, often called “bad” cholesterol since higher levels of LDL cholesterol reflect a higher risk of heart disease and (2) HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol, often called “good” cholesterol because a high HDL level may protect against heart attack.
