ABSTRACT:
Methods are provided for determining whether a subject animal has an increased risk of cardiovascular or related disorder. The level of serum campesterol and beta-sitosterol are determined and a campesterol/beta-sitosterol ratio obtained. The ratio determined for the subject animal is compared with that of a normal control animal and correlated with the risk of cardiovascular or a related disorder.
