Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine the cholesterol absorption inhibitor ezetimibe profoundly lowers serum cholesterol levels in animals expressing very low rates of hepatic cholesterol synthesis and produces large compensatory increases in hepatic HMG-CoA reductase expression without signifucantly affecting expression of hepatic low density lipoprotein receptors. This indicates that ezitimibe should be most effective in lowering serum cholesterol levels in peaple with low rates of cholesterol synthesis/High rates of cholesterol absorption Rattus norvegicus
