Table 4 Calculating the steady-state level of intestinal cholesterol
From: A whole-body mathematical model of cholesterol metabolism and its age-associated dysregulation
The steady-state level of intestinal cholesterol | Â |
|---|---|
Weight of intestine | 70*30=2100 g |
Number of 100 g segments in intestine | 2100/100=21 |
Total amount of cholesterol equals the number of 100 g segments times 150 mg | 21*150 mg |
Total | 3150 mg |
