Abstract

Cholesterol is undoubtedly the most abundant sterol present in the mammalian species; it has been estimated that cholesterol represents 0.2% of body weight, that in an average man of 70 Kg means 145g, 8 of which contained in the blood[l]. Cholesterol is virtually insoluble in water, however, having a hydroxyl group is soluble at the surface and can form monolayers[2].
