 |  |  | hypercholesterolemia: Encyclopedia - CholesterolCholesterol is a steroid, a lipid, and an alcohol, found in the cell membranes of all body tissues, and transported in the blood plasma of all animals. Most cholesterol is not dietary in origin, it is synthesized internally. Cholesterol is present in higher concentrations in tissues which either produce more or have more densely-packed membranes, for example, the liver, spinal cord, brain and atheroma. Cholesterol plays a central role in many biochemical processes, but is best known for the association of cardiovascular disease with v ...

 |  |  | hypercholesterolemia: Encyclopedia II - Fibrate - PharmacologyAlthough used clinically since the early 1970s, the mechanism of action of fibrates remained unelucidated until, in the 1990s, it was discovered that fibrates activate PPAR (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors), especially PPARα. The PPARs are a class of intracellular receptors that modulate carbohydrate, fat metabolism and adipose tissue differentiation.
Activation of PPARs causes transcription of a number of genes on the DNA that facilitate lipid metabolism.
Fibrates are structurally and pharmacologically related to the thiazolidinediones, a novel class of anti-diabetic drugs that also ...

 |  |  | hypercholesterolemia: Encyclopedia II - Myocardial infarction - Pathophysiology
Myocardial infarction - Ischemia and infarction.
The underlying mechanism of a heart attack is the destruction of heart muscle cells due to a lack of oxygen. If these cells are not supplied with sufficient oxygen by the coronary arteries to meet their metabolic demands, they die by a process called infarction.
The decrease in blood supply has the following consequences:
Heart muscle which has lost blood flow long enough, e.g. 10-15 minutes, dies (necrosis) and does not grow back. A collagen sc ...

 |  |  | hypercholesterolemia: Encyclopedia II - Synthetic language - Forms of synthesisThere are several ways in which a language can exhibit synthetic characteristics:
Synthetic language - Derivational synthesis.
In derivational synthesis, morphemes of different types (nouns, verbs, affixes, etc.) are joined to create new words. For example:
German: Luftkissenfahrzeug "air-cushion-travel-machine" = "hovercraft"
Greek: υπερχοληστερολαιμία "overmuch/high-cholesterol-blood" = "hypercholesterolemia"
Japanese: teishaekiSee also: Synthetic language, Synthetic language - Synthetic and isolating languages, Synthetic language - Specimens, Synthetic language - Forms of synthesis, Synthetic language - Derivational synthesis, Synthetic language - Relational synthesis, Synthetic language - Degrees of synthesis, Synthetic language - Strictly isolating, Synthetic language - Rather isolating, Synthetic language - Rather synthetic, Synthetic language - Very synthetic, Synthetic language - Polysynthetic, Synthetic language - Oligosynthesis Read more here: » Synthetic language: Encyclopedia II - Synthetic language - Forms of synthesis |

 |  |  | hypercholesterolemia: Encyclopedia II - Policosanol - StudiesThere have been a number of clinical studies, with both human and animal subjects, on the effects of policosanol and on its major component, octanosol. They have found that it can lower cholesterol, act as an anticoagulant, and inhibit atherosclerosis.
In one recent double-blind study, patients with high LDL-cholesterol received daily doses of either 10 mg policosanol , 20 mg lovastatin, or 10 mg simvastatin for eight weeks. LDL-cholesterol was reduced by 24% in the policosanol groups, 22% in the lovastatin group and 15% in the simvas ...

They consist of capillaries that are fenestrated (leaky, due to little holes called fenestrae or windows) and that allow fluid, salts, and other small solutes to flow through, but normally not proteins.
In nephrotic syndrome, the glomeruli become damaged due to diabetes, glomerulonephritis, or even prolonged hypertension (high blood pressure) so that small proteins, such ...

In blood, most DHEA is found as DHEAS with levels that are about 300 times higher than free DHEA. Orally ingested DHEA is converted to its sulfate when passing through intestines and liver. While DHEA levels reach their peak in the early morning hours, DHEAS levels show no diurnal variation. DHEAS is biologically active only after its su ...
