At the end of pregnancy
the cholesterol sulfate in the villi rises to levels of about 24 units.

One metabolite featured
in the study is
cholesterol sulfate, which was found to be used up during osteogenesis on a rigid matrix and
in turn could be used to convert stem cells into bone - like cells
in a dish.
And — and it turns out that sulfur —
sulfate cholesterol,
sulfate in vitamin D3 is the key to high solar environment and turns the skin thickness, you know, it goes back to the solar callus that you and I talked about.
However, my extensive literature search has led me to two mysterious molecules found
in the blood stream and
in many other parts of the body: vitamin D3
sulfate and
cholesterol sulfate.35
I mentioned before that
cholesterol sulfate plays a crucial role
in the barrier that keeps pathogens from penetrating the skin.
Iron
sulfate is then formed by bonding the iron
in the heme unit
in myoglobin to a
sulfate ion provided by
cholesterol sulfate.
Given that
cholesterol sulfate and vitamin D3
sulfate are very similar
in molecular structure, I would imagine that both molecules are produced the same way.
Muscle cells ordinarily contain significant levels of glutathione, and its depletion leads to mitochondrial damage.23 Patients undergoing surgical trauma have been found to exhibit reduced glutathione levels
in their skeletal muscles.21 It is tempting to speculate that
cholesterol sulfate provides the sulfur needed for glutathione synthesis, so that the deficiency would be explained by the reduced availability of
cholesterol following the immune system's heightened response to surgical trauma.
In summary, a number of different arguments lead to the hypothesis that sulfur deficiency causes the liver to shift from producing
cholesterol sulfate to producing arginine (and subsequently nitric oxide).
Thus, I hypothesize that the intestinal inflammation and low - grade fever are due to an overactive immune system, necessitated by the fact that pathogens have easier access when the endothelial cells are deficient
in cholesterol sulfate.
