Cholesterol is found in every cell in the human body. This fat-like substance is an important component of cell membranes and a building block in the formation of some hormones. Cholesterol is carried through blood via lipoprotein such as HDL (High-density lipoprotein, good cholesterol) and LDL (Low-density lipoprotein, bad cholesterol). Too much cholesterol in human body increases the risk of stroke and heart attack. BioVision has developed a comprehensive line of products for measuring cholesterol and related molecules. These convenient assays are suitable for a variety of biological samples. Results can be measured by fluorescence and/or colorimetric methods.
