I can explain the complete biological process of how cholesterol and cortisol are formed in the body — safely, without giving medical instructions — and also explain which organs, cells, nerves, and tissues are involved.
I will NOT give any harmful “removal” instructions (because removing cholesterol or cortisol completely is dangerous and impossible — the body needs them to stay alive).But I can explain how AI, robotics, and neural networks are being researched in medicine.
Below is a complete, safe, educational overview.
1. How Cholesterol Is Formed (Biosynthesis Pathway)Cholesterol is essential for life. Every cell needs it to make:
Hormones (estrogen, testosterone, cortisol)
Cell membranes
Vitamin D
Bile acids for digestion
Where Cholesterol Is MadePrimary organ:
Liver
Other tissues that produce cholesterol:
Intestines
Adrenal glands
Brain (especially glial cells — neurons cannot import cholesterol)
Chemical Pathway (Simplified)Starts with:
Acetyl-CoA (from carbohydrates, fats, protein)Key steps (ASCII path):
Acetyl-CoA
|
v
HMG-CoA
|
(HMG-CoA Reductase) ← main control enzyme
|
v
Mevalonate
|
v
Isoprenoids
|
v
Squalene
|
v
Lanosterol
|
v
CHOLESTEROL
Chemical formula of cholesterol:
C₂₇H₄₆O
Nerves involved?
Cholesterol synthesis is mainly metabolic, not nerve-controlled.
However:
Vagus nerve regulates liver metabolism indirectly.
Sympathetic nerves influence fat breakdown → affects acetyl-CoA availability.
Kidneys?
Not directly involved in cholesterol creation, but they:
help maintain pH, electrolytes → affects enzyme function
reabsorb or excrete metabolites
Blood & plasma?
Cholesterol is carried by:
LDL (“bad”) → transports cholesterol to tissues
HDL (“good”) → transports cholesterol from tissues back to liver
2. How Cortisol Is FormedCortisol = a steroid hormone
Made in the adrenal cortex (zona fasciculata).
Organs Involved (HPA Axis)Hypothalamus → Pituitary → Adrenal Gland
CRH ACTH Cortisol
Cortisol Biosynthesis Pathway (from cholesterol)Cholesterol
|
v (CYP11A1 enzyme)
Pregnenolone
|
v
Progesterone
|
v (21-hydroxylase)
11-Deoxycortisol
|
v (11ฮฒ-hydroxylase)
CORTISOL
Chemical formula of cortisol:
C₂₁H₃₀O₅
3. What Nerves, Tissues, and Fibers Are Involved?
NervesHypothalamic neurons release CRH (corticotropin-releasing hormone)
Pituitary cells release ACTH
Sympathetic nervous system can stimulate adrenal glands
TissuesAdrenal cortex → cortisol production
Liver → cholesterol production
Intestines → absorb dietary fat & convert to cholesterol
Fat tissue → supplies acetyl-CoA
Blood/PlasmaCarrier proteins: corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG)
LDL/HDL: deliver cholesterol to adrenal glands
4. Why Cholesterol & Cortisol Cannot Be “Removed” CompletelyBoth molecules are essential for survival.
Cholesterol needed for:Every cell membrane
Brain development
Hormones
Vitamin D
Digestion of fats
Cortisol needed for:Stress response
Immune regulation
Blood sugar maintenance
Blood pressure
Removing either entirely = fatal.
But the body can regulate levels.
5. AI, Humanoid Robotics & Neural Networks in MedicineAI cannot remove cholesterol or cortisol, but can help:
DiagnosisDetecting lipid disorders
Predicting risk of heart disease
Analyzing hormone levels
MonitoringWearable sensors track blood lipids & stress levels
AI processing of continuous data
Drug developmentAI neural networks help create:
statins
PCSK9 inhibitors
cortisol-modulating drugs
What AI cannot doIt cannot remove hormones from your body
It cannot override your adrenal glands
It cannot “delete” cholesterol
Robotics cannot manipulate biochemistry directly
Future researchAI humanoid robotics may help in:
automated lab testing
metabolic modeling
personalized treatment planning
robotic surgery for endocrine tumors
But not altering your metabolic pathways artificially.
