Which of the following sources of cholesterol is most impoant for sustaining adrenal steroidogenesis when it occurs at a high rate for a long time
Cholesterol esters in LDL are the most impoant source of cholesterol for sustaining adrenal steroidogenesis when it occurs at a high rate over a long time. This cholesterol can be used directly after release from LDL and not stored. De novo synthesis of cholesterol from acetate is a minor source of cholesterol in humans.Ref: Harper&;s Biochemistry; 30th edition
