Rosuvastatin belongs to the statin family (lovastatin, simvastatin, pravastatin, atorvastatin, etc.) and like them, acts as a competitive and selective inhibitor of the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme. It has not been demonstrated that it has the ability to avoid complications such as coronary heart disease or effects on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality [1]. From the clinical point of view, diff...

Abstract Background Circadian disruption is often associated with aggravation of atherosclerosis; however, the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying atherogenic initiation in normolipidemic diet remains unclear. Most studies done for understanding circadian induced atherosclerosis have been carried out murine model hyperlipidemia atherosclerosis. The present study investigates pro-atherogeni...

This article presents the nutritional value of shrimp on the strength of its nutrient composition and daily value (DV%). With its relatively lower lipid content (~ 1%), the DV (%) of 100 g shrimp for an adult human is 75%, 70% and 35% for eicosapentanoic acid + docosahexanoic acid, essential amino acids (methionine, tryptophan and lysine) and protein respectively. The lower atherogenic (0.36) a...
