Atorvastatin action involves diminished recovery of hepatic HMG-CoA reductase activity.
The effects of atorvastatin on the expression of the hepatic HMG-CoA reductase and LDL receptor genes were investigated in rats. Like the other statins, atorvastatin increased the rate of degradation and presumably cycling of the hepatic LDL receptor. In atorvastatin-treated rats, the half-life of the receptor was decreased by over 60%. Hepatic HMG-CoA reductase mRNA levels were increased about...
متن کاملHMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, atorvastatin, promotes sensorimotor recovery, suppressing acute inflammatory reaction after experimental intracerebral hemorrhage.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Statins have neuroprotective effects on ischemic stroke. They modify the endothelial function, increase blood flow, and inhibit thrombus formation, which are independent of lipid-lowering effects. However, whether statins have a protective effect toward hemorrhagic stroke is yet unknown. To test this possibility, we attempted to determine the effect of atorvastatin on exp...
متن کاملMeasurement of human leukocyte microsomal HMG-CoA reductase activity.
Methods were developed for determination of microsomal HMG-CoA reductase activity from freshly isolated human lymphocytes, monocytes, and granulocytes or cultured human lymphoid cells. Reductase activity in monocytes is approximately twice that in lymphocytes or granulocytes. The activity in cultured cells is approximately 34-fold greater than that in freshly isolated cells. Assay conditions we...
متن کاملRapid RP-HPLC assay of HMG-CoA reductase activity. AUTHORS
Radioisotope-based and mass spectrometry coupled to chromatographic techniques are the conventional methods for monitoring HMG-CoA reductase (HMGR) activity. Irrespective of offering adequate sensitivity, these methods are often cumbersome and time-consuming, requiring the handling of radiolabeled chemicals or elaborate ad-hoc derivatizing procedures. We propose a rapid and versatile RP-HPLC me...
متن کاملDiurnal variation of HMG CoA reductase activity in rat intestine.
HMG CoA reductase activity of rat intestinal mucosa has a diurnal rhythm which coincides with the diurnal variation of the hepatic HMG CoA reductase but has a lower amplitude. The rhythmic variation of the intestinal reductase was present in both jejunal and ileal crypt cell microsomes and was not abolished by cholestyramine administration.
