Cholesterol is a cell signaling molecule that is highly regulated in eukaryotic cell membranes. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] In human health, its effects are most notable in inflammation , metabolic syndrome , and neurodegeneration . [ 4 ]
Common lipid signaling molecules: lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) platelet activating factor (PAF) anandamide or arachidonoyl ethanolamine (AEA). Lipid signaling, broadly defined, refers to any biological cell signaling event involving a lipid messenger that binds a protein target, such as a receptor, kinase or phosphatase, which in turn mediate the effects of these ...
People with both high cholesterol and high blood pressure have a compounded risk for cardiovascular events. High blood pressure , also called hypertension , is a vicious and smart adversary.
Cholesterol is the principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils. [3] [4]Cholesterol is biosynthesized by all animal cells [5] and is an essential structural and signaling component of animal cell membranes.
"The consumption of caffeinated green tea has demonstrated efficacy in lowering blood pressure for individuals with prehypertension and stage 1 hypertension, signaling potential benefits in blood ...
Among the studies we’ve selected is one on the much-debated link between eggs and cholesterol, how GLP-1 drugs can affect both eye and heart health, and a supplement that may help lower the risk ...

The epoxy eicosatrienoic acids (or EETs)—and, presumably, the epoxy eicosatetraenoic acids—have vasodilating actions on heart, kidney, and other blood vessels as well as on the kidney's reabsorption of sodium and water, and act to reduce blood pressure and ischemic and other injuries to the heart, brain, and other tissues; they may also act ...
