摘要: According to the invention there is provided a method of treatment or prophylaxis atherosclerosis, hypercholesterolemia cardiovascular disease associated with which comprises administration one more Growth Hormone Releasing Peptides (GHRPs) patient in need such prophylaxis. There are also methods reducing blood plasma cholesterol levels, as well modulating expression scavenger receptor CD36 and genes involved cellular efflux.
