Q

Reverse cholesterol transport

A

HDL accepts cholesterol from peripheral tissue - transported to liver
binds SR-B1 through ApoA1 in liver - cholesteryl esters delivered to hepatocytes

Q

MOA Resins

A

bind bile acids/salts
Force liver to increase bile acid synthesis - requires uptake of cholesterol
Increased LDL receptors
Lowers LDL but increases TG

Q

MOA Ezetimibe

A

inhibit NPC1L1 = inhibit cholesterol uptake

Increase LDL receptor = decrease LDL

17
Q

TX Ezetimibe

A

familial combined hyperlipoproteinemia
familial hypercholesterolemia
familial ligand-defective apoB

18
Q

Statins

A

“STATIN”
Most potent - Atorvastatin, Rosuvastatin
Least potent - Fluvastatin

19
Q

MOA statins

A 
inhibit HMG CoA reductase
reduce cholesterol
increase synthesis of LDL receptor
Increase LDL uptake from blood
Decrease secretion of of VLDL
20
Q

Pleotropic effects of statins

A 
decrease coagulation
decrease platelet activation
increase endothelial function/progenitor cells
increase NO
decrease ROS
decrease AT1 receptors
Decrease VSMC proliferation
decrease immune response
decrease endothelin
21
Q

AE Statins

A

Myopathy/myositis
rhabdomyolysis
liver toxicity
High potency statins - elevated ALT/AST - adaptive not toxic
True toxicity = elevated ALT/AST + bilirubin

22
Q

TX Statins

A

Familial combined hyperlipoproteinemia
Familial hypercholesterolemia
Familial ligand-defective apoB
Familial dysbetalipoproteinemia
