Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of cholesterol into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of sterols into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of cholesterol into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The whole of the physical, chemical, and biochemical processes carried out by living organisms to break down ingested lipids into components that may be easily absorbed and directed into metabolism. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of an organismal process, any of the processes pertinent to the function of an organism above the cellular level; includes the integrated processes of tissues and organs. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a digestive system process, a physical, chemical, or biochemical process carried out by living organisms to break down ingested nutrients into components that may be easily absorbed and directed into metabolism. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of absorption of cholesterol into the blood, and the exclusion of other sterols from absorption. The directed movement of cholesterol, cholest-5-en-3-beta-ol, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of uptake of cholesterol into the blood by absorption from the intestine. Uptake of cholesterol into the blood by absorption from the small intestine. Any process by which nutrients are taken up from the contents of the intestine. Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of a digestive system process, a physical, chemical, or biochemical process carried out by living organisms to break down ingested nutrients into components that may be easily absorbed and directed into metabolism. A physical, chemical, or biochemical process carried out by living organisms to break down ingested nutrients into components that may be easily absorbed and directed into metabolism.
