Why would it be better to store cholesterol rather than utilize it?
Such great questions.
I don't have answers.
I had a feeling you were going to say that.
You know I never do.
But no, those are all really good questions because that is really the determinant of whether cholesterol is going to become a problem is if it is building up in the wrong places or at the wrong times.
And there are actually a whole bunch of diseases that I'm not going to get into any detail on today.
That are where cholesterol is building up not outside of our cells, not in our bloodstream, but actually inside of our cells.
So you can get buildup of fats and cholesterol after that cholesterol has been taken up into our cells if you can't export it.
Right.
So, for example, there's a genetic disorder called Niemann-Pick disease.
OK.
And this is where you have a defective, basically exporter molecule.
And so you would have really low HDL levels.
Low HDL levels and just low cholesterol levels overall because you're still taking up cholesterol from your bloodstream, but then you can't get rid of it.
And now your cells are too full of cholesterol.
Right.
So that's going to be really detrimental.
Right.
There are other ones as well, and I'm not going to get into deep detail because the way that we tend to worry about the buildup of cholesterol for most people is when it builds up in our bloodstream.
