Hepatic sterol synthesis is accelerated in animals after a single dose of allylisopropylacetamide, a chemical known to be porphyrogenic. Evidence is provided to show that enhanced sterol biosynthesis is due to an increased formation of mevalonic acid ...

Highly sensitive assay of HMG-CoA reductase activity by LC-ESI-MS/MS
We have developed a new sensitive and specific nonradioisotope assay method to measure the activity of HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-controlling enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway.

Production of plasma esterified cholesterol in lean, normotriglyceridemic humans
The rate of production of plasma esterified cholesterol was measured both in vivo and in vitro in seven subjects and in vivo alone in eight subjects. All subjects were lean, clinically healthy, and had triglyceride concentrations < 1.5 μmoles/ml. In vivo

CHEMICAL INDEXES CALCULATED FOR 8,11,13-TRIENABIETANE DITERPENOIDS ISOLATED FROM SWARTZIA SPECIES
The disparity found in the molecular structures of compounds isolated from nine plants of the Swartzia genus indicates that the Swartzia species that furnished cassane diterpenoids and triterpenoidal saponins are more recent, since these metabolites have

Prolonged inhibition of cholesterol synthesis explains the efficacy of atorvastatin
HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors or statins are effective in both the primary and secondary prevention of coronary heart disease, the extent of benefit being proportional to the reduction in low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol achieved. Atorvastatin, a
