Attenuating Effect of Curcumin on Diet-induced Hypercholesterolemia in Mice
Background and Aims: Atherosclerosis is currently a chronic disease in which cholesterols accumulate in large arteries. Many genes such as liver X receptor α (LXRα) are involved in the cholesterol homeostasis. Curcumin, the main active polyphenol component derived from Curcuma longa, contribute to anti-inflammation and antioxidant in the treatment of atherosclerosis. Thus, this stud...
متن کاملPitavastatin in the Management of Hypercholesterolemia HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA
Pitavastatin((+)-monocalciumbis(3R,5S,6E)-7[2-cyclopropyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-quinolyl3,5-dihydroxy-6-heptenoate]) (C50H46CaF2N2O8), is an entirely synthetic statin with a molecular weight of 880.98, that was initially developed by Nissan Chemical Industries Ltd., Tokyo, Japan, and later by Kowa Co. Ltd., Tokyo, (Figure 1).15 Pitavastatin exerts its potent pharmacological actions by strongly b...
متن کاملFamilial hypercholesterolemia: a case report
Abstract Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a hereditary dislipidemia. Patients present with extremely high level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), which is due to mutation in the gene of LDL receptor. Homozygous patients (HoFH) whose incidence is 1 in 1.000.000 are at high risk of premature aortic valve stenosis, and coronary artery atherosclerosis. In homozygous individual...

متن کاملTransgenic expression of dominant-active IDOL in liver causes diet-induced hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis in mice.
RATIONALE The E3 ubiquitin ligase inducible degrader of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (IDOL) triggers lysosomal degradation of the low-density lipoprotein receptor. The tissue-specific effects of the IDOL pathway on plasma cholesterol and atherosclerosis have not been examined. OBJECTIVE Given that the liver is the primary determinant of plasma cholesterol levels, we sought to examine ...
