Quantitative determination of Cholesterol LDL on serum and plasma.

Cholesterol is a fat present in the blood, involved in various processes that are fundamental for the functioning of the body. If present in excessive quantities, it is one of the major risk factors for heart disease.

In particular, LDL lipoproteins transport excess cholesterol from the liver to the arteries and release it into the vessels resulting in atherosclerosis
