Cholesterol Metabolism


Cholesterol Metabolism Simluation HOME ALGORITHM APPLICATION ARCHITECTURE BACKGROUND GLOSSARY STATISTICS ABOUT CREDIT EVALUATION FORM HELPFUL LINKS	Algorithms and mathematical formulas are representations for each Cholesterol Metabolism functions. Algorithm The equations are indicating mathematical calculations given for some functions of lipid transporting. Those equations are used in the program to run a web-based interactive model. Equations: HDL = tissue_release + HDL_sysnthesis + lipid_exchange - HDL_reuptake - lipid_transfer VLDL = VLDL_synthesis + lipid_transfer - tissue_uptake - LDL_reupake Bile = free_chol_secretion + bile_acid_synthesis - bile_secretion Hepatic_pool = CM_uptake + HDL_reuptake + LDL_reuptake + hepatic_synthesis - VLDL_synthesis - HDL_synthesis - free_chol_secretion - bile_acid_synthesis Intestine = bile_secretion + Dietary_cholesterol - absorption - elimination Tissue_pool = tissue_uptake + tissue_synthesis - tissue_release - biosynthesis
