Cholesterol doesn’t just circulate — it transforms.
Inside hepatocytes, a tightly regulated network of enzymes converts it into bile salts that drive lipid digestion, micelle formation, and metabolic balance. But the real depth lies in:
• The dominance of the classical pathway
• The precision control of CYP7A1
• FXR-mediated feedback loops
• And what happens when this system fails
Understanding these mechanisms isn’t just biochemistry — it connects directly to metabolic disorders, genetic defects, and clinical outcomes.
