Cholesterol is a kind of sterol and lipid in cell membrane. Most of cholesterol in blood exists in the form of cholesterol ester. Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase in human plasma is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of cholesterol ester. Cholesterol synthesized or deposited in peripheral cells returns to the liver through the reverse cholesterol transport system for reusing or regaining bile acids.
Total cholesterol includes free cholesterol and cholesterol esters. Cholesterol ester can be hydrolyzed by cholesterol esterase to produce cholesterol and free fatty acid. Cholesterol is oxidized by cholesterol oxidase to produce â–³4-cholestenone and hydrogen peroxide. In the presence of 4-aminoamylpyridine and phenol, hydrogen peroxide catalyze peroxidase to form red quinone compounds of benzoquinone imine phenizone.The color depth of the generated quinone is directly proportional to the cholesterol content. The absorbance values of the standard tube and the sample tube are measured respectively, and the cholesterol content in the sample can be calculated.
