Cholesterol Test Farmabol MyCare

Cholesterol is synthesized in the body under natural conditions. The majority is produced in the liver, while a smaller percentage is absorbed from food. Cholesterol is primarily found as a component of cell membranes and also plays a role in bile synthesis and skin protection. A normal total cholesterol level in the blood is less than 200 mg/dL. Elevated cholesterol levels indicate a risk of developing atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis can go unnoticed for decades and is often only detected when it reaches a very advanced stage. It is one of the most common and serious cardiovascular diseases in developed countries.
