Molecular Docking of Red Betel (Piper crocatum Ruiz & Pav) Bioactive Compounds as HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitor

Jurnal Kimia Sains dan Aplikasi, 2021
Cholesterol plaque buildup in artery walls occurs due to oxidation of Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) molecules by free radicals, which are a risk factor for coronary heart disease. Piper crocatum contains active compounds that can act as HMG-CoA reductase

Treatment Goals for Primary Biliary Cholangitis, an Australian Perspective

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune liver disease that targets the small intrahepatic bile ducts with diagnosis based on elevated serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels and the presence of anti‐mitochondrial antibodies. Untreated, it may run a progressive course to cirrhosis and hepatic decompensation, at which point liver ...

Drug‐Induced Sialolithiasis—A Big‐Data Retrospective Study

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sialolithiasis pathophysiology is multifactorial, with systemic medications often hypothesised as a key contributor, particularly in older adults (Drug‐Induced Sialolithiasis). However, robust evidence supporting this theory is limited.

Emerging locally delivered antimicrobial and immunomodulatory approaches for the prevention/treatment of peri‐implant diseases

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Peri‐implant diseases are dysbiosis‐mediated inflammatory disorders that occur in susceptible hosts. Antimicrobials and immunomodulatory agents therefore might be pertinent as adjunctive measures in the treatment of such disorders. The aim of this narrative review was to examine the existing evidence and assess the effectiveness of emerging ...

Studies on the link between HMG-CoA reductase and cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase in lymph-fistula rats: evidence for both transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms for down-regulation of the two enzymes by bile acids

Journal of Lipid Research, 1993
The mechanism of down-regulation of hepatic HMG-CoA reductase and cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase by cholic acid (CA) and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) was investigated in rats with a lymph fistula.

Fluvastatin Plus Dipyridamole Suppresses Canine Hemangiosarcoma Growth in Patient‐Derived Xenograft Models Through Lactate Dehydrogenase‐Associated Cholesterol/Lipid Metabolism

Veterinary and Comparative Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tumour cells commonly exhibit aerobic glycolysis and produce lactate despite oxygen availability. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) catalyses pyruvate‐lactate interconversion and regulates intracellular lactate levels. Endothelial cells also depend on glycolysis for ATP production, which prompted us to investigate LDH in canine hemangiosarcoma (HSA),

Mechanisms for cholesterol homeostasis in rat jejunal mucosa: effects of cholesterol, sitosterol, and lovastatin

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
The effects of feeding cholesterol, sitosterol, and lovastatin on cholesterol absorption, biosynthesis, esterification, and LDL receptor function were examined in the rat jejunal mucosa.

Mechanisms and Predisposing Conditions for Statin‐Induced New‐Onset Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Paradox Relative to Their Pleiotropic Metabolic Effects

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
The primary function of statins is to inhibit cholesterol synthesis, which contributes to their antidiabetic effects. However, the majority of the diabetic effects of statins are due to inhibition of isoprenoid synthesis. Atorvastatin, simvastatin and rosuvastatin possess the most pronounced diabetogenic properties. In contrast, lovastatin, fluvastatin,

Regulatory effects of sterols and bile acids on hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase and cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase in the rat

Journal of Lipid Research, 1973
Specific activities of the hepatic microsomal enzymes 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA (HMG CoA) reductase and cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase were studied in rats fed sterols and bile acids.
