12
Q

lipoprotein profile gemfibrozil, fenofibrate

A

TG decrease 30-50%

LDL - decrease 15-20%

HDL - increase 5-15%

13
Q

Niacin mechanism - inhibit FFA mobilization from adipose

A

Niacin receptor 1 > decrease in cAMP

> PKA doesn’t phos perilipin and HSL

>TG not broken down into FFA and glycerol

14
Q

mechanism of action, statins

A

competitive inhibition of active site on HMG CoA reductase > rate limiting step of cholesterol biosynth

reduction leads to increased numbers of LFL-receptors and thus more uptake

16
Q

pharmokinetics of statins

(uptake via)

A

extensive first pass

uptake via OAT1B1

extensive plasma protein binding

18
Q

other beneficial effects of omega 3

A

reduced risk for fatal arrhythmias

enhanced plaque stability

reduced HR

improved endothelial function

19
Q

metabolism of statins primarily via

A

P450 CYP3A4

20
Q

specific HTP inhibitor indication

A

homozygous FH

22
Q

meechanism PCSK9 inhibitors

A

blocks PCSK9 targeting of LDR to lysosome for recyling > increase LDLR

23
Q

primary impact of Fibrates

A

lover levels of TG rich lipoproteins

24
Q

mechanism of statin induced myopathy

A

blockade of HMG CoA reductase also supprsses formation of isoprenoids required for normal muscle function

25
Q

pharmacokinetics fenofibrate, gemfibrozil

A

oral

plasma protein binding

fenofibraate metabolized to active

gemfibrozil metabolized to inactive

26
Q

pharmacokinetics ezetimibe

A

oral admin

metabolized to active form

half life 22

27
Q

niacin lipid profile

A

TG decrease 35-50%

LDL decrease by 25%

HDL - increase by 15-30%

Lpa reduced by 40%

28
Q

mechanism gemfibrozil, fenofibrate

A

bind as heterodimers to PPAR-a receptor in liver, adipose > regulates gene transcription, chief among those increase LPL that breaks down TG

lowers levels of TG rich lipoproteins

29
Q

first choice hyperchholesterolemia drugs

A

HMG Coa reductase inhibitors

30
Q

apoB 100 inhibitors adverse effects

A

injxn site

flu-like

elevation of liver enzyems (rsk hepatotoxicity)

31
Q

mechanism Cholestyramine

A

highly postive binds highly negative bile acids > large resins not absorbed and thus excreted

(excretion depletes bile acids, which are synthesized from cholesterol)

(reduced chol > activates SREBP > increase LDL receptor gene transcription

33
Q

drug of choice for hypertriglyceridemia

A

Gemfibrozil/fenofibrate

(then niacin, then Omega3)

34
Q

greatest TG impact

Q

MTP inhibitors adverse effects

A

significant GI

hepatotoxicity

38
Q

ApoN-100 inhibtion mechanism

A

antisense oglionucleotide inhibit synthesis of apoB-100 in liver

(apo B binds LDL to receptor, crucial for transport)

40
Q

adverse effects niacin

A

intense cutaneous flsuh/pruritis (via PGD2 from macrophages)

.GI effects

hyperuricemia (gout concern)

Increase fasting glucose, insulin resistance

41
Q

cholestyramine liporotein profile

A

LDL - decrease by 12-25%

HDL - increase by 4-5%

42
Q

rarer, serious side effects statins

A

myositis or liver enzyme elevations

myopathy

43
Q

MTP inhibitors mechanism

A

prevent assembly of apo-B containing lipoproteins in entoerocytes and hepatocytes > reduced chylomicrons and VLDL > reduced plasma LAL-C concetration

44
Q

(statin use) when cholesterol decreases, ___ and ____ no longer bind, so SREBP-SCAP is transpoted to golgi and cleaved at ___ and ___

this leads to transcriptionally active SREBP > activates target genes

A

(statin use) when cholesterol decreases, **SCAP **and INSIG no longer bind, so SREBP-SCAP is transpoted to golgi and cleaved at S1P and S2P

this leads to transcriptionally active SREBP > activates target genes
