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).
2014 to Present: Mini Cooper. Under the guidance of BMW, the Mini Cooper was reborn as an upscale small car with a wide selection of options and cosmetic enhancements to personalize the car. But it was also pitched as the most fun you could have in a small car â like the original.
The brand is owned by BMW but it doesn't make the MINI a BMW. Just like the above reference, where someone noted the relationship between Smart and Mercedes-Benz. Indeed they are. BMW bought the company from the Rover group and are producing the new Mini in a plant near Oxford, England.
