[The possible means for the pharmacological correction of lipid metabolic disorders in atherosclerosis]
Abstract:
The main trends of contemporary pharmacology of hypolipidemic and hypocholesterolemic agents were analysed. A list of drugs capable of correcting lipid metabolism disorders is given: cholesterol absorption inhibitors, stimulators of bile acid synthesis, inhibitors of cholesterol synthesis, analogs of fibroic acid and other inhibitors and correctors of hypertriglyceridemias, stimulators of reverse cholesterol transport and synthesis of high-density lipoproteins, etc. The latest theoretical and experimental elaborations of gene therapy of dyslipoproteinemias in atherosclerosis are discussed.
