Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Lathosterol is a Cholesterol metabolite. Lathosterol (indicating cholesterol synthesis) and Sitosterol (indicating cholesterol absorption) also decreased with deteriorating health. Low Lathosterol, Sitosterol, and Cholesterol predicted mortality additively and independently of each other.
