Still trying to lower cholesterol!

[Guest guest]

The popular cholesterol-lowering drugs known as statins work by preventing

that enzyme from working.

But the drugs also have the paradoxical effect of building up the enzyme's

levels even as they block its function. That may be, DeBose-Boyd said, why

cholesterol levels don't drop as much as doctors would like. He said his

research is aimed at figuring out how to prevent buildup of the enzyme. The

goal is to make statins more effective or to come up with new classes of drugs

to lower cholesterol levels.
