my synthesis and uptake we're all elevated which I guess is to be expected when all the other markers are elevated I don't know if you wanna have anything to chime in there my cholesterol was almost 10 and the reference range is like 2 to 3 so really exceeded that desmos draw was almost 4 and the reference range for that is around 1 yeah so these are interesting markers so cholesterol can be elevated when there's increased cholesterol synthesis Dez master all again these are kind of esoteric markers so some people are probably having their heads swim with like all this funny names and stuff but does master all is probably the best marker of cholesterol synthesis and in the podcast with Tommy wood that I did recently he talked about Dez master all synthesis that podcast was talking about Alzheimer's disease dementia the effect that statins could have on the synthesis of cholesterol in the brain and the effect that might have on long-term cognition and memory but the DES master all is an indication of how much cholesterol our bodies are making that is what happens we make more cholesterol that's why LDL goes up on these diets
