BACKGROUND Ezetimibe is an inhibitor of cholesterol absorption in the intestine. We examined whether ezetimibe improves endothelial function, and if so, what mechanisms are involved. METHODS AND RESULTS Nineteen healthy subjects (male/female 14/5; mean age, 31±3 [SD] years-old) were randomized to receive ezetimibe (10mg/day) or pravastatin (10mg/day) for 4 weeks in a cross-over manner with a ...
Ezetimibe is a potent inhibitor of cholesterol absorption that has been approved for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, but its molecular target has been elusive. Using a genetic approach, we recently identified Niemann-Pick C1-Like 1 (NPC1L1) as a critical mediator of cholesterol absorption and an essential component of the ezetimibe-sensitive pathway. To determine whether NPC1L1 is the di...
AIMS The predominance of small dense low-density lipoproteins (sdLDLs) has been associated with increased cardiovascular risk. The effect of ezetimibe on LDL subfraction distribution has not been fully elucidated. This study assessed by gradient gel electrophoresis the effects of ezetimibe alone, simvastatin alone, and their combination on sdLDL subfraction distribution. METHODS AND RESULTS A...
This study compared the efficacy and safety of co-administered ezetimibe + simvastatin with atorvastatin monotherapy in adults with hypercholesterolemia. Seven hundred eighty-eight patients were randomized 1:1:1 to 3 treatment groups; each group was force-titrated over four 6-week treatment periods: (1) 10 mg of atorvastatin as the initial dose was titrated to 20, 40, and 80 mg; (2) co-administ...
UNLABELLED Aims/Introduction: Several experimental studies have shown that ezetimibe improves steatosis and insulin resistance in the liver. This suggests that ezetimibe may improve glucose metabolism, as well as lipid metabolism, by inhibiting hepatic lipid accumulation. Therefore, we compared HbA1c levels after 3 months ezetimibe treatment with baseline levels in patients with type 2 diabete...
BACKGROUND Ezetimibe has been shown to inhibit cholesterol absorption in animal models, but studies on cholesterol absorption in humans have not been performed thus far. METHODS AND RESULTS The effect of ezetimibe (10 mg/d) on cholesterol absorption and synthesis, sterol excretion, and plasma concentrations of cholesterol and noncholesterol sterols was investigated in a randomized, double-bli...
A simple, precise and rapid RP-HPLC method was developed for the simultaneous determination of simvastatin and ezetimibe in combined pharmaceutical dosage forms. The method was carried out on a Shim-pack, RP-C18 column using a mixture of acetonitrile: methanol: buffer (triethylamine pH-3) in the ratio 15:45:40 and detection was done at 240 nm using external standard method as quantitation. The ...
Lin et al 1 present an interesting study in which they tested the hypothesis that combining ezetimibe and phytosterols is more effective than ezetimibe treatment alone in reducing serum cholesterol. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, triple-crossover study, they found that combining ezetimibe with phytos-terols is more effective in reducing cholesterol levels than ezetimibe alon...
Type 2 diabetes plays a major role in the development of cardiovascular diseases. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of ezetimibe, a potent cholesterol absorption inhibitor, on cardiovascular injury of obese and type 2 diabetic db/db mice. Diabetic db/db mice fed a Western diet were given ezetimibe for 9 weeks, and the effects on cardiovascular injury and hepatic steatos...
BACKGROUND We previously found that the use of ezetimibe increased rapidly with different patterns between the United States (US) and Canada prior to the landmark Ezetimibe and Simvastatin in Hypercholesterolemia Enhance Atherosclerosis Regression (ENHANCE) trial, which was reported in January 2008, and failed to show that the drug slowed the progression of atherosclerosis. What is not known is...
