Why Cholesterol and Triglycerides Have Different Conversion Factors
Converting between mass concentration ($\text{mg/dL}$) and molar concentration ($\text{mmol/L}$) depends strictly on the chemical molecular weight of the lipid molecule:
- Cholesterol ($\text{C}_{27}\text{H}_{46}\text{O} = 386.65\text{ g/mol}$): $$\text{mmol/L} = \frac{\text{mg/dL}}{38.67} \implies \text{mg/dL} = \text{mmol/L} \times 38.67$$
- Triglycerides (Average triolein $\text{C}_{57}\text{H}_{104}\text{O}_6 = 885.4\text{ g/mol}$): $$\text{mmol/L} = \frac{\text{mg/dL}}{88.57} \implies \text{mg/dL} = \text{mmol/L} \times 88.57$$
