Question
Answer
What is 7-a-hydroxylase (CYP7A1)?   cholesterol ---(CYP7A1)---> bile acids (upregulated when cholesterol is high to reduce the level of cholesterol in hepatocytes, or when bile acids are low)  
🗑
Cholestyramine   Bile acid (BA) sequestrant. Complexes bile salts (BS)-->prevent recycling of BAs from GI-->dec BA levels in circulation-->dec inhib of CYP7A1-->inc synthesis of new BSs-->dec liver chol --> inc LDL receptors (to make more chol) --> dec LDL in plasma  
🗑
Colestipol   Bile acid (BA) sequestrant. Complexes bile salts (BS)-->prevent recycling of BAs from GI-->dec BA levels in circulation-->dec inhib of CYP7A1-->inc synthesis of new BSs-->dec liver chol --> inc LDL receptors (to make more chol) --> dec LDL in plasma  
🗑
When would you NOT use bile acid sequestrants?   in hypertriglyceridemias because they inc VLDL and TG's  
🗑
Adverse effects of bile acid sequestrants   1. bloating, 2. constipation  
🗑
Drug interactions of bile acid sequestrants   Dec absorption of digoxin, thiazides, tetracyclines, warfarin, and vitamin K.  
🗑
What is HMG CoA Reductase?   Rate limiting enzyme in the synthesis of cholesterol  
🗑
What are statins?   Inhibit HMG-CoA Reductase --> decrease synthesis of cholesterol in liver --> inc LDL receptors --> dec LDL in circulation & dec hepatic synthesis of VLDL and ApoB  
🗑
What is the effect of statins on HDL and TG's?   small inc in HDL and small dec in TG's (atorvostatin)  
🗑
What is the effect of statins on vessels?   Inc in NO (vasodilator) and decreases mRNA for endothelin-1 (vasoconstrictor)  
🗑
Adverse effects of statins   1. Diarrhea, 2. Myalgia/myopathy (watch CK), 3. rhabdomyolysis (gemfibrozil, nicotinic acid), 4. inc LFT's  
🗑
What is nicotinic acid?   anti-hyperlipidemic. 1. inhib VLDL and apoprotein synthesis in hepatocytes, 2. inc HDL --> dec plasma VLDL, LDL, and TG's, 3. activates lipoprotein lipases, 4. inc tPA, 5. dec serum fibrinogen  
🗑
Adverse effects of nicotinic acid   1. flushing, 2. pruritis (use ASA), 3. rashes, 4. hyperuricemia, 5. hyperglycemia, 6. hepatotoxicity, 7. GI ulcer exacerbation.  
🗑
Gemfibrozil   anti-hyperlipidemic. 1. activates lipoprotein lipases --> inc catabolism of VLDL and LDL, 2. dec plasma VLDL, TG's, LDL, 3. small inc in HDL  
🗑
Adverse effects of gemfibrozil   1. GI distress, 2. rash, 3. gallstones, 4. hypoK, 5. myositis  
🗑
Drug interactions of gemfibrozil   potentiates warfarin and sylfonylurea hypoglycemics  
🗑
Ezetimibe   anti-hyperlipidemic. 1. prevents intestinal absorption of cholesterol (used with statin to dec LDL)  
🗑
Adverse effects of ezetimbe   GI distress  
🗑
