Speculations Concerning the Functions of Serum Cholesterol

DAVID KRITCHEVSKY PH.D.1

1 From the Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Speculations concerning the metabolic functions of the free and ester cholesterol of the serum are presented. The discussion is based on the supposition that serum free cholesterol serves a structural purpose and as a precursor of other steroids whereas serum ester cholesterol is part of the fatty acid transport mechanism. The literature bearing on these points is reviewed.
