QUESTION
Cholesterol gives rises to all of the following expect?
OPTIONS
(A) Steroid hormones
(B) Sex hormones
(C) Bile acids
(D) Bile pigments
ANSWER
(D) Bile pigments
EXPLANATION
Bile pigments is the correct option because cholesterol is a precursor for steroid hormones, including sex hormones, and is converted into bile acids, whereas bile pigments such as bilirubin arise mainly from heme breakdown rather than cholesterol. Therefore the first three products are cholesterol-derived, but bile pigments are not.
