From: A whole-body mathematical model of cholesterol metabolism and its age-associated dysregulation
Tissue | Concentration |
---|---|
Liver | 70000 mg |
Intestine | 3120 mg |
Remaining cholesterol in peripheral tissue | 70000-3120= 66880 mg |
Liver | 10000 mg of stored cholesterol, which represents 14% of overall hepatic cholesterol |
Peripheral tissue | Assuming 14% is stored here: 14% of 66880=3963.2 mg |
Peripheral free cholesterol | 66880-9363.2=57516.8 mg |
