Question
Chapter 4, Problem 8WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The phenomenon that describes control illustration of, when a person eats a fatty diet, excess cholesterol accumulates in the bloodstream. Cells then temporarily stop producing cholesterol.
Introduction:
The release of chemicals, both in surplus or deficit amount, in the human body is precisely controlled by their respective cells and the cholesterol, being biosynthesized by all animal cells, is not an exception. Cholesterol could also be taken-in with food intake and if consumed in the surplus amount, would lead to the blockage in its production from the cells. This biological process of temporary inhibition of cholesterol synthesis in the liver is known as ‘Negative Feedback’ or ‘Feedback Inhibition’.

Suppose a person drinks a glass of milk. If the cells in the person's small intestine make lactase, very little lactose reaches the large intestine. Where did the lactose from the milk go?
Humans produce the majority of the cholesterol essential for cell membranes for vitamin D and steroid hormone production. What would you anticipate to happen if a person's diet has an abnormally high level of cholesterol? Justify your answer.
Humans synthesize most of the cholesterol required for cell membranes and for the synthesis of vitamin D and other steroid hormones. Keeping in mind that living organisms are selfregulating, what would you expect to happen if a person’s diet is high in cholesterol? Provide a reason for your response.
