摘要: Guinea pigs are useful models to investigate the mechanisms of hypocholesterolemic effects drugs. Like humans, guinea one few species that carry majority cholesterol in LDL. This animal model has also been shown develop atherosclerosis when challenged with hypercholesterolemic diets. In addition, plasma lipid profiles males, females and ovariectomized pigs, a for menopause, follow similar patterns those observed humans. this report, drugs aimed at lowering triglycerides hyperlipidemic individuals reviewed. Studies analyzing hypolipidemic effect HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, acyl CoA acyltransferase fibrates, bile acid resins, apical sodium transporter others show humans have comparable responses drug therapy. results from limited clinical reports addressing specific on LDL catabolism or VLDL synthesis agreement observations pigs. From review these studies, it is apparent pig further explore action including receptors regulatory enzymes involved metabolism early development.
