Cholesterol is a major sterol in mammals, accounting for 20-25% of the structural components of the plasma membrane, and plays an important role in characterizing membrane fluidity and permeability, as well as the function of transporter and signaling proteins. In addition, Cholesterol is an endogenous estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα) agonist.

| Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
| Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.
