Pitavastatin versus Pravastatin in Reduction of Remnant Lipoprotein Cholesterol in Patients with Dyslipidemias

Leonardo Roever. Clin Ther. 2016 May.

Abstract

Remnant lipoproteins cholesterol are products of partially catabolized chylomicrons and very-low-density lipoprotein, from which some triglycerides have been removed. These particles are smaller and are believed to be strongly atherogenic. Elevated Remnant lipoproteins cholesterol levels were reported to be associated with endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerotic disease.

Keywords: atherosclerosis; dyslipidemia; remnant lipoprotein cholesterol.
