High cholesterol absorption efficiency interferes with bile acid metabolism and cholesterol elimination from the body

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 299, Issue 5, Page 628-638, May 2026.
Abstract Background Elevated low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol causes atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Variables of whole‐body cholesterol metabolism, for example, high cholesterol absorption efficiency, might also be atherogenic, whereas the role of bile acids is controversial.

Indirect Assessment of Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA Reductase (NADPH) Activity in Liver Tissue

Clinical Chemistry, 1975
Abstract We describe an indirect method for assessing variation in 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (NADPH) activity in liver tissue. 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA and mevalonate concentrations in the tissue homogenate are estimated in terms of absorbances and the ratio between the two is taken as an index of activity of ...

Pravastatin Corrects Endothelial Dysfunction in Ex Vivo Uterine Radial Arteries in Preeclampsia

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Endothelium‐dependent relaxation in isolated uterine radial arteries from normotensive (NT) and preeclamptic (PE) pregnancies, and the acute effects of pravastatin in the latter vessels were assessed. Pravastatin is hypothesized to alleviate endothelial dysfunction in PE via modulating aspects of NO and endothelium‐derived ...

Variation in Psychotropic and Non‐Psychotropic Prescribing in Nursing Homes: A Multi‐Level EMR‐Based Retrospective Cohort Study

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, Volume 74, Issue 4, Page 1099-1109, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Antipsychotic medications remain widely used in nursing homes (NHs) despite guidelines discouraging potentially inappropriate use. While home‐level variation is known, less is understood at the unit and organization levels, or across other psychotropic and non‐psychotropic drugs.
