Individual cholesterol pool sizes are given in milligrams per kilogram. M indicates male; F, female; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; V1, the compartment that includes FC in plasma lipoproteins as well as presumed liver and other rapidly equilibrated pools; V2, erythrocyte FC; V3, plasma CE; and na, not applicable.
