It is a waxy steroid and is transported in the blood plasma of all animals. It is the main sterol synthesized by animals - small amounts are also synthesized in plants and fungi. The word "cholesterol" comes from the Greek word chole, meaning "bile", and the Greek word stereos, meaning "solid, stiff". the study demonstrated that oral administration of Pergularia daemia extract evokes a beneficial effect on the hyperlipidemia. This finding supports its use for the treatment and management of cardiovascular diseases. This implies that Pergularia daemia leaves extract consumption can prevent or be helpful in reducing the complication of dyslipidemia associated disorders.
