- cholesterol is a major sterol in higher animals, a component of cell membrane lipids, and is mainly synthesized in the liver. The content of cholesterol in animal tissues was the most in brain tissue, liver, bone, pancreas, spleen and bile, and the heart. The content of pig brain and egg yolk was 2%. Elevated serum cholesterol levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. On the other hand, cholesterol is the precursor of certain important steroid substances in the body, such as steroid hormone vitamins (e. G., D3) and cholic acid. It is also an important structural component of some eukaryotic biofilms. Normally, cholesterol in the blood is maintained at a constant concentration level, and its level is significantly increased or decreased in the disease.

Cholesterol - Preparation Method
Open Data Verified Data
fresh animal brains and ridges were minced and dried at 40-50 ℃ to prepare dry brain powder. Dry brain powder plus 1.2 times the amount of acetone immersion, extraction 4. 5H, repeated extraction 5 times, combined extract. Acetone was recovered from the extract by distillation to obtain a yellow solid. Then, 10 times the amount of ethanol was added, and th was refluxed by heating, filtered, and the filtrate was cooled at 0 to 5 ° C., allowed to stand, precipitated crystals, and filtered to obtain crude cholesterol crystals. Add 5 times the amount of ethanol in the crude product, then add 5% ~ 6% sulfuric acid, heat reflux for 8H, remove lipid impurities, cool the hydrolysate at 0~5 ℃, precipitate crystals, filter, wash to neutrality with ethanol. The crystals were added 10 times the amount of 95% ethanol, 3% activated carbon, heated reflux decolorization th, heat preservation filtration, filtrate 0~5 deg C cooling crystallization, filtration, vacuum drying, cholesterol can be obtained.

Cholesterol - Introduction
Cholesterol is a lipid compound, belonging to the steroid group. It is a colorless, crystalline solid with a faint odor. At room temperature, Cholesterol is poorly soluble in water but easily soluble in organic solvents.
Cholesterol plays an important role in organisms. It is one of the components of cell membrane and the precursor of synthetic steroid hormones, bile acids and vitamin D. Cholesterol is particularly important for human health, but excessive intake may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Cholesterol is usually obtained from animal fat or liver extraction. Methods for preparing Cholesterol include acid-base extraction, crystallization, and thin-layer chromatography.
When using Cholesterol or handling chemicals containing Cholesterol, you need to follow appropriate safety measures. Cholesterol is irritating and toxic, avoid contact with skin, eyes and respiratory tract. In the storage and handling of Cholesterol, appropriate ventilation and personal protective measures should be taken to ensure safe handling.
