Effects of an Inhibitor of 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl Coenzyme a Reductase on Serum Lipoproteins and Ubiquinone-10 Levels in Patients with Familial Hypercholesterolemia

Abstract

We studied the effects of ML-236B, a competitive inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, on serum levels of lipoproteins and ubiquinone-10-in seven heterozygous patients with familial hypercholesterolemia. ML-236B was given at doses of 30 to 60 mg per day for 24 weeks. Serum cholesterol decreased from 390 +/- 9 to 303 +/- 8 mg per deciliter (101 +/- 0.2 to 7.88 +/- 0.2 mmol per liter, mean +/- S.E.M.; p less than 0.001) and serum triglyceride decreased from 137 +/- 18 to 87 +/- 9 mg per deciliter (1.55 +/- 0.20 to 0.98 +/- 0.01 mmol per liter; p less than 0.05). Intermediate-density-lipoprotein (DL) cholesterol, IDL triglyceride, low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and LDL triglyceride decreased significantly (p less than 0.01, P less than 0.001, and P less than 0.001, respectively). However, there were no significant changes in very-low-density-lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol and triglyceride or high-density-lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Serum ubiquinone-10 levels did not change, and LDL levels of ubiquinone-10 decreased by 50 per cent, from 0.39 +/- 0.07 to 0.20 +/- 0.01 microgram per milliliter (P less than 0.05). No adverse effects were observed. We conclude that ML-236B is effective in lowering serum cholesterol without lowering serum ubiquinone-10 in heterozygous patients with familial hypercholesterolemia.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
