Cholesterol Model
Product code: CP00050937
Product Description
Cholesterol is a waxy substance that comes from two sources: your body and the food you eat. Your body, and especially your liver, makes all the cholesterol you need and circulates it through the blood. Cholesterol is also found in foods from animal sources, such as, meat, poultry and full-fat dairy products. Your liver produces more cholesterol when you eat a diet high in saturated and trans fats. Excess cholesterol can form plaque between layers of artery walls, making it harder for your heart to circulate blood. Plaque can break open and cause blood clots. If a clot blocks an artery that feeds the brain, it can cause a stroke. If it blocks an artery that feeds the heart, it can cause a heart attack.
