Lecithin is what you are looking for, not lethicin. It is a phospholipid. Which means that it has a phosphate part and a lipid part.

Are there different types of lipid panels?

Yes, there are different types of lipid panels, primarily categorized as standard and advanced lipid panels. A standard lipid panel typically measures total cholesterol, LDL (low-density lipoprotein), HDL (high-density lipoprotein), and triglycerides. Advanced lipid panels may provide additional information, such as particle size and number, apolipoprotein levels, and other lipid-related markers, offering a more detailed assessment of cardiovascular risk. The choice of lipid panel depends on individual risk factors and clinical guidelines.
