What is Lathosterol?

Lathosterol is another precursor in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. Elevated absolute levels (e.g., ug/mL or mg/L) suggest higher rates of cholesterol production (synthesis) within the body's cells. Monitoring Lathosterol helps evaluate endogenous cholesterol synthesis activity. Ensure you are inputting the absolute value (e.g., ug/mL or mg/L), not a ratio relative to total cholesterol.
