It is also essential in producing, transporting, and releasing energy from fats. Synthesis of cholesterol (needed to manufacture vitamin D and steroid hormones) depends on pantothenic acid. Pantothenic acid also activates the adrenal glands. Pantethine a byproduct of pantothenic acid has been reported to lower blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides.
