Management of hyperlipidemias: An update

Abstract: The discovery of the key enzymes, receptors, and transporters in cholesterol biosynthesis has enabled us to assemble fragments of knowledge concerning lipids and lipoproteins into dynamic pathways, leading to the development of a multitude of lipid-lowering drugs. After a brief recapitulation of the pathways of cholesterol metabolism and the dermatologic manifestations of lipid derangement, we shall review drugs which modify intestinal cholesterol and bile-acid reabsorption, and hepatic lipoprotein biosynthesi… Show more

“…Table 4 indicates the effect of the diets given to the different study groups, showing a significant decrease in LDLcholesterol concentration of diet 4 group and a slight but definite increase in HDL-cholesterol concentration. This change could be considered beneficial in relation to its effect on cardiovascular disease (Blaha et al 2008;Ranjan 2009).…”

“…Ezetimibe reduces cholesterol by blocking the uptake of cholesterol into jejunal enterocytes. [ 2 ] STs are drugs of first choice for the patients with hypercholesterolemia, especially in those at high cardiovascular risk, however some of these patients are intolerant to STs. [ 3 ] Dietary ingredients include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and herbs or botanicals, as well as other substances that can be used to supplement the diet.…”

“…Cholesterol, a greasy substance, the main constituent of steroid hormones, bile salts and vitamin D. It is a constituent of cell membranes as well. It is both derived from the diet and synthesized within the body, specifically in the liver [7]. Raised serum cholesterol level predisposes to the risk of heart disease and stroke.…”
