Cholesterolis the major sterol in mammals and is makes up 20-25% of structural component of the plasma membrane. Plasma membranes are highly permeable to water but relatively impermeable to ions and protons.Cholesterolplays an important role in determining the fluidity and permeability characteristics of the membrane as well as the function of both the transporters and signaling proteins^[1][2].Cholesterolis also an endogenousestrogen-related receptor α (ERRα)agonist^[3].

GT1-7 hypothalamic cells subjected to Cholesterol depletion in vitro produced 20-31% reductions in cellular Cholesterol content. All Cholesterol-depleted neuron-derived cells, exhibit decreased phosphorylation/activation of IRS-1 and AKT following stimulation by insulin, insulin-like growth factor-1, or the neurotrophins (NGF and BDNF). Reduction in cellular Cholesterol also results in increased basal autophagy and impairment of induction of autophagy by glucose deprivation^[1].

Insulin-deficient diabetes in mice can lead to a reduction in brain Cholesterol synthesis, which occurs through a change in expression of Cholesterol synthesis enzymes and their upstream regulators SREBP2 and SCAP1^[1].
The pool of Cholesterol in the whole animal is 2,200 mg/kg body weight. This is true for essentially all species from the mouse to the primate and indicates that the average concentration of Cholesterol in the whole animal is 2.2 mg/g fresh tissue^[2].
The basal metabolic rate in the mouse is 170 kilocalories (kcal)/day/kg, and the flow of Cholesterol from all peripheral organs to the liver is greater than 100 mg/day/kg^[2].
