Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of death worldwide. It has been demonstrated that the probability of suffering one of these illness is linked to high blood cholesterol levels. Therefore, the fast detection of this lipid would improve the clinical diagnosis of these diseases. A system obtained on a glass graphite electrode with metal oxide nanoparticle, cholesterol oxidase and Nafion®, as a potential biosensor for the rapid detection of cholesterol, it was developing on this...
