متن کاملEzetimibe improves postprandial hyperlipidaemia in patients with type IIb hyperlipidaemia.
BACKGROUND Postprandial hyperlipidaemia is known to be a high-risk factor for atherosclerotic disease because of rapid and lasting accumulations of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and remnants. The Niemann-Pick C1-Like 1 (NPC1L1) protein acts as an intestinal cholesterol transporter and ezetimibe, which inhibits NPC1L1, has been used in patients with hypercholesterolaemia. We investigated effect...

It is suggested that serum cholesterol concentration over 250 mg/d...

The condit...
