What does your cholesterol panel mean?

Every cell in your body makes cholesterol because cells need it - it’s part of their make up. Cholesterol is the reason why your cells are fluid meaning things are allowed to cross the cell membrane both in and out. That is how sugar gets in to your cells as well as hormones and other things. It’s also how things that are no longer needed leave the cell.
