Oncotic pressure
Worked to offer larger overview of an crucially important issue: distribution of extracellular water volumes, shifted such as in edema (extravascular) vs. intravascular depletion.

Oncotic pressure
Worked to improve the explanation and ability to understand what creates osmotic, oncotic pressure. Focusing on the molecules which do pass through semipermeable membranes, vs. the molecules which do not, explains the issue better.

Beta cell
Added that the Beta cells secrete both insulin and amylin in a fixed ration, both stimuli for to other cells to remove glucose from extracellular water, as able.

Cholesterol
→Cholesterol testing: Worked to more accurately define what both the lipid profile and what the acronyms HDL and LDL actually mean, along with their significance; not just the less clear terms good & bad.

Cholesterol
→Function: Clarified that the polar group of both cholesterol and the phospholipid molecules interact with the surrounding water molecules, both with and outside the cell membranes, the fundamental hydrophilic versus hydrophobic organizational principles.

Apolipoprotein B
Added an explanation of why cholesterol in NOT the correct issue. Particles which transport all lipids, including cholesterol, ARE the correct issue. I also added two research references to replace the previous objection "citation needed".Tag: Visual edit

Fat
Broadened previously too narrow introduction paragraph which exclude other lipid molecules.

Cholesterol
Added a basic reason how animals differ from plants, which (with very rare exception) do not move rapidly on their own & animals can readily harvest and eat plants.

Anti-obesity medication
Added an entry for pramlinatide, an analogue of Amylin, which is secreted by pancreas beta cells along with insulin release & activation, Added semaglutide to GlP-1 section.

Atherosclerosis
Worked to correct concept promoted within introduction that arteries narrow (long promoted based on angiography & assumptions) versus enlarge (based on actual more careful research) in response to atherosclerosis.

Cholesterol
Worked to clarify that cholesterol is an addition to phospholipid bilayers, as distinguised from only bilayers of phospholipids only
