Since sunlight converts cholesterol (which type?) into vitamin
D and several hormones are also generated from cholesterol, if
one is taking hormone supplements and/or T injections along
with not getting much sun, would this raise cholesterol -
since it isn't being used as much - by a measurable amount?
