Inhibition of HMG CoA Reductase and Lipid Peroxidation in The Rats Liver by Selected Zingiberaceae [PDF]

open access: yesPharmaciana, 2018
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. One of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease is hyperlipidemia. This study aimed to determine the potential of Zingiberaceae (10 species) as inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase enzyme

3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA Reductase Inhibitors Enhance Cytokine-mediated Induction of Nitric Oxide Synthesis in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

open access: yesPteridines, 2002
We investigated the effects of by 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG)-CoA reductase inhibitors, cerivastatin and fluvastatin, on the induction of nitric oxide (NO) production in vascular smooth muscle cells ( VSMC) stimulated by interleukin-1β (1L-1) or in ...

Effects of a novel 2,3-oxidosqualene cyclase inhibitor on the regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis in HepG2 cells.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1996
Within the cholesterol biosynthesis cascade, the enzyme 2,3-oxidosqualene cyclase [EC 5.4.99.7] is of special interest due to its dual function: cyclization of 2,3-monoepoxysqualene to lanosterol and 2,3;22,23-diepoxysqualene to oxylanosterol.

Studies on the regulation of cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase and HMG-CoA reductase in rat liver: effects of lymphatic drainage and ligation of the lymph duct.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1990
Lymphatic drainage leads to a significant stimulation of both the cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase and HMG-CoA reductase activity in rats (Björkhem et al. 1978. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 85: (532-540).

3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase from rat intestine: subcellular localization and in vitro regulation.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1982
The subcellular localization of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase in rat intestine was reinvestigated. Highly enriched fractions of endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria were prepared from mucosal cells.

Comparing HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Cardiology, 2003
The statins have proved to be some of the most potent therapies for reducing elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and lessening the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and related events. Nonetheless, there are still questions about the clinical relevance of individual drug characteristics, such as chemical derivation, solubility ...

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Improved methods for the study of hepatic HMG CoA reductase: one-step isolation of mevalonolactone and rapid preparation of endoplasmic reticulum

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1976
Two new methods are described for the study of hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase. (1) Endoplasmic reticulum was rapidly prepared by diluting a 10,000 g supernatant with buffer containing 8 mM calcium chloride. The yield of

Protective Effects of Fenugreek and Stevia Extracts on Dexamethasone‐Induced Testicular Damage in a Rat Model

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Fenugreek and stevia extracts protect against dexamethasone‐induced testicular damage in male rats by enhancing antioxidant defenses, improving sperm quality, and restoring hormonal balance, highlighting their potential as natural therapeutics for preventing corticosteroid‐induced reproductive toxicity.

Differing effects of cholesterol and taurocholate on steady state hepatic HMG-CoA reductase and cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activities and mRNA levels in the rat.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1992
We investigated the effects of cholesterol, cholestyramine, and taurocholate feeding on steady state specific activities and mRNA levels of hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG)-CoA reductase and cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase in the rat ...
