The liver is central to the regulation of cholesterol levels in the body. Not only does it synthesize cholesterol for export to other cells, but it also removes cholesterol from the body by converting it to bile salts and putting it into the bile where it can be eliminated in the feces. The liver removes LDL and other lipoproteins from the circulation by receptor-mediated endocytosis. 2  Additionally, excess cholesterol from cells is brought back to the liver by HDL in a process known as reverse cholesterol transport (green pathway).
