Conversion of cholesterol into bile acids

Biological significance of cholesterol

De novo synthesis of fatty acids (Palmitic acid)-Formation of malonyl-CoA, activation of acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA, elongation of the fatty acid chain, release of palmitic acid

Formation and utilization of ketone bodies, utilization of ketone bodies (ketolysis)

Beta-Oxidation of saturated fatty acid (Palmitic acid)-Activation & transport into mitochondria, beta-oxidation steps, energy production

Lipid Metabolism: Anabolic Pathways-Fatty Acid Synthesis, Triglyceride Synthesis, Phospholipid Synthesis, Cholesterol Synthesis, Catabolic Pathways- Lipolysis, Beta-Oxidation, Cholesterol Catabolism
