hmg coa reductase
nicotinic acid
fibric acid
bile acid binding resin

omega 3 acid ethyl esters
meaning of HMG-COA
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A
in charge in the conversion of HMG COA to mevalonic acid
reductase
it speeds up the conversion
enzyme
pathway for cholesterol synthesis
mevalonic acid
reduces the production of VLDL
nicotinic acid
example of nicotinic acid
niacin / B3
reduce synthesis and increase breakdown of the VLDL particles
fibric acid
example of fibric acid
gemfibrozil
binds bile in the intestine
bile acid binding resins
it lowers the very high triglyceride
omega-3 acid
used for elderlies to determine the risk of CAD; the use of threadmill
