Q

How Statins Increase LDL Receptors:

Statins cause there to be less ______ in the blood, therefore the _______ are no stuck anymore and can go _______

A

cholesterol(sterols); proteases (arent stuck anymore); go cleave transcription factors (that will increase LDL receptor transcription)

Q

what is the fibrate class of drugs’ MOA?

A

fibrate binds to PPAR-alpha and aso RXR; all of that binds to PPRE with drives LPL expression! it also increase expression of ApoA1 (aka HDL expression)

HDL; TC; TG; LDL

34
Q

what things are needed for BOTH Framingham and Pooled cohort eqns

A
  • gender
  • age
  • HDL
  • Systolic BP
  • Tx for HTN
  • Smoking
  • Total Cholesterol
35
Q

what things are needed for pooled cohort eqn and NOT framingham

Q

Statins and Muscle Injury:

if CK is ______ times the upper limit - stop the statin!

A

10

37
Q

why is grapefruit juice a possible issue with statins

A

grapefruit juice is a CYP3A4 inhibitor - will elevate statin levels — higher risk of muscle injury
