Cholesterol is found in the blood vessels as well in the human body cell and homeostasis plays a
vital role to maintain physical in a balanced and stable state. However, due to unbalance
homeostasis has led to health problems such as stroke, chest pain and heart attack which causing
deaths each year. This study was conducted to investigate the model of two compartments for
cholesterol transport in the bloodstream and liver in the human body. Then, the model is solved
to generate the concentration of cholesterol profile. The solution is numerically solved by using
Runge Kutta method. The results showed that there is a problem in the transportation of
cholesterol from the liver to the bloodstream when the concentration ratio is less or equal to one
or vice versa. Finally, this model can assist with the appropriate treatment strategy when the
value of the parameter cholesterol transport is changed.
