Abstract
In this paper, a mathematical model is considered for analyzing the impact of nicotine exposure to cholesterol biosynthesis. The dynamical model is nonlinear. Its equilibrium points are computed and conditions are provided under which a unique locally stable positive equilibrium exists. Moreover, effect of internal time delays on local stability is also investigated.
