Cholestanol/Cholesterol in Serum or Plasma
Active
Term Description
The ratio of cholestanol to cholesterol in serum or plasma is calculated from individual analytes. Cholesterol absorption efficiency and synthesis can be predicted by the ratio of non-cholesterol sterols, including cholestanol, to cholesterol. High cholestanol to cholesterol ratio indicates high cholesterol absorption efficiency and low cholesterol synthesis. PMID: 12235179

LP15487-9 Cholestanol
Cholestanol (C27H47OH) is formed from the reduction of cholesterol and a marker used to evaluate cholesterol absorption and synthesis disorders, including Smith-Lemli-Optiz syndrome (SLOS) and cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX). Patients with CTX have elevated cholestanol levels (3-15 times higher, ranging from 1.3-15 mg/d) and low-to-normal cholesterol levels (usually 115-220 mg/dL). For CTX, the cholesterol-to-cholestanol ratio is said to be a better indicator of disease than cholestanol concentration alone.
