[Study of critical values of plasma concentration of cholesterol in hospitalized patients by an enzymatic method]
Annales De Biologie Clinique
|January 1, 1977
Abstract:
The concentration of plasma cholesterol was measured in 794 women and 832 men by a method of enzyme analysis. The populations studied were composed of patients in hospital. The critical values were drawn up using parametric and nonparametric statistical methods. The serum cholesterol varied in these populations between 3.0 and 8.5 mmol/l and neither age nor sex modified seriously these values.

01:29Cholesterol: Significance and Regulation
Although not a source of energy, cholesterol plays a significant role as a foundational structure for bile salts, steroid hormones, and vitamin D, as well as being a crucial component of plasma membranes. Approximately 15% of blood cholesterol is derived from our diet, with the remainder synthesized from acetyl CoA by the liver and intestines. Cholesterol is eliminated from the body through its conversion into bile salts, which are eventually discarded in the feces.

Understanding serum lipids is crucial for maintaining cardiovascular health and preventing heart disease and stroke.
Serum lipids are fats and fatty substances in the blood and are crucial for various bodily functions, including energy storage, cellular structure, and hormone production. Serum lipids consist of cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids.
Cholesterol is a soft, fat-like substance found in all body cells. It is crucial for producing hormones, vitamin D, and substances that aid...
