Parent topics
- Hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitor [r]: HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors which reduce 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl CoA and lower cholesterol synthesis. [e]
- Hypercholesterolemia [r]: Presence of an abnormally large amount of cholesterol in the cells and plasma of the circulating blood. [e]
- Cholesterol [r]: Principal sterol of all higher animals. [e]
Subtopics
Statins
Type I statins
- Mevalonate [r]: A key chemical precursor in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. [e]
- Lovastatin [r]: Type I statin and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitor used to treat hypercholesterolemia. [e]
- Pravastatin [r]: Type I Statin used to treat hypercholesterolemia. [e]
- Simvastatin [r]: A semisynthetic lipid-lowering drug derived from a compound produced by a mold of the genus Aspergillus and administered orally to lower a high cholesterol level in the blood by inhibiting the action of an enzyme catalyzing the synthesis of cholesterol. [e]
Type II statins
- Fluvastatin [r]: Fluorophenyl-based statin, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, for reduction of cholesterol, triglycerides and apo B. [e]
- Cerivastatin [r]: A type II statin formerly used to treat high cholesterol levels (hypercholesterolemia). [e]
- Atorvastatin [r]: Sold as Lipitor®, a type II statin used to treat high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia), [e]
- Rosuvastatin [r]: A type II statin, marketed as Crestor®, used to treat high cholesterol levels. [e]
- Stroke [r]: A sudden loss of brain function due to interrupted blood supply. [e]
- Mevalonate [r]: A key chemical precursor in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. [e]
- Ethyl eosine [r]: Add brief definition or description
- 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl CoA [r]: A chemical precursor of mevalonate and, therefore, cholesterol. [e]
- Simvastatin [r]: A semisynthetic lipid-lowering drug derived from a compound produced by a mold of the genus Aspergillus and administered orally to lower a high cholesterol level in the blood by inhibiting the action of an enzyme catalyzing the synthesis of cholesterol. [e]
