Familial Hypercholesterolemia: The Most Frequent Cholesterol Metabolism Disorder Caused Disease

Cholesterol is an essential component of cell barrier formation and signaling transduction involved in many essential physiologic processes. For this reason, cholesterol metabolism must be tightly controlled. Cell cholesterol is mainly acquired from two sources: Dietary cholesterol, which is absorbe...
