Isochlorogenic Acid C Alleviates High-Fat Diet-Induced Hyperlipemia by Promoting Cholesterol Reverse Transport

Isochlorogenic Acid C Alleviates High-Fat Diet-Induced Hyperlipemia by Promoting Cholesterol Reverse Transport

Source : https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphar.2022.881078/full

Background: Promoting cholesterol reverse transport (RCT) has been proven to be a promising hyperlipidemia therapy since it is more effective for the treatment of atherosclerosis (AS) caused by hyperlipidemia.



Conclusion: ICAC accelerated RCT without affecting liver LXRα, thus resulting in a lipid-lowering effect without increasing liver adipogenesis. Our results indicated that ICAC could be a new RCT promoter for hyperlipidemia treatment without causing liver steatosis.

The Effects of Statin Therapy on Oxidized LDL and Its Antibodies: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

The Effects of Statin Therapy on Oxidized LDL and Its Antibodies: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Source : https://www.hindawi.com/journals/omcl/2022/7850659/

Background . Elevated serum low-density lipoproteins (LDL), the substrate for the formation of atherogenic oxidized LDLs (oxLDL), are a causal factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Statins are well known...



Conclusion: Statin therapy decreases serum oxLDL concentrations but does not affect circulating levels of anti-oxLDL antibodies.

Source : https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/ihj/63/4/63_22-052/_article

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors significantly reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and improve the prognosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the feasibility and safety of early...



Conclusion/Relevance: In patients with extremely high-risk ACS with high levels of LDL-C, adding evolocumab to their treatment regimen as early as possible may enhance lipid lowering, increase the patient's LDL-C compliance rate in the short term, and improve cardiovascular prognosis but will not increase adverse reactions.

Lipid Lowering Therapy: An Era Beyond Statins

Lipid Lowering Therapy: An Era Beyond Statins

Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0146280622002390?via=ihub

Available online 31 July 2022, 101342 Dyslipidemia, specifically elevated LDL cholesterol levels, causes atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and increases the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke. Statins, a class of...



Conclusion/Relevance: Overall, although statins continue to be the gold standard, non-statin therapies are set to play an increasingly important role in managing dyslipidemia.

Effects of PCSK9 inhibitors on HDL cholesterol efflux and serum cholesterol loading capacity in familial hypercholesterolemia subjects: a multi-lipid-center real-world evaluation

Effects of PCSK9 inhibitors on HDL cholesterol efflux and serum cholesterol loading capacity in familial hypercholesterolemia subjects: a multi-lipid-center real-world evaluation

Source : https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmolb.2022.925587/full

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), beyond regulating LDL cholesterol (LDL-c) plasma levels, exerts several pleiotropic effects by modulating lipid metabolism in extrahepatic cells such as macrophages. Macrophage cholesterol homeostasis...



Conclusion: PCSK9-i treatment significantly increased HDL-CEC through ABCG1 and aqueous diffusion pathways and reduced the serum CLC in FH patients. The favorable effect of PCSK9-i on functional lipid profile could contribute to the cardiovascular benefit of these drugs in FH patients.
