Essay / Research Paper Abstract
7 pages in length. Cholesterol, a "soft, waxy substance" (Cholesterol) present in the bloodstream and body cell fats, is not the evil component of bad health to the extent that many believe when kept under control. Indeed, the body's inherent need for cholesterol makes it a critical factor in ongoing health and wellbeing; however, it is when this sticky composition begins to line arterial walls and restricts blood circulation that it transforms into a life-threatening entity. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

control. Indeed, the bodys inherent need for cholesterol makes it a critical factor in ongoing health and wellbeing; however, it is when this sticky composition begins to line arterial
walls and restricts blood circulation that it transforms into a life-threatening entity. The importance of cholesterol is found in its role in, among other things, creating cellular membranes and hormones,
both of which are accomplished under the specific - if not limited - production of cholesterol. When that production increases beyond the point of being beneficial to the body,
known as hypercholesterolemia, the risk of developing coronary heart disease (CHD) greatly increase along with the probability of heart attack, inasmuch as cholesterol is not able to dissolve in and
be circulated out of the blood. The process by which cholesterol is moved through the body is accomplished by lipoproteins carrying the waxy substance to and from cells, with
the most recognizable ones being low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (Cholesterol). Fifteenth century English physiologist William Harvey - whose
discovery of blood circulation "was central to a proper understanding of the workings of the body" (William Harvey) not the least of which includes the role cholesterol plays in overall
human health - successfully manipulated both the mechanical and quantitative approaches to physiological inquiry in order to prove his theory. This monumental breakthrough set the stage for further physiological
exploration and the ultimate determinant that proved Galens previous theory of rejuvenation to be wrong, but not before much social consternation took place.
Harveys unprecedented discovery inevitably led the way for other monumental findings regarding how the human body circulates blood - or does not circulate when cholesterol is present. Nitric oxide
