MeSH definition : An antilipemic agent which lowers cholesterol, triglycerides, serum beta-lipoproteins
and phospholipids. It acts by interfering with the enzymatic steps involved in the
conversion of acetate to hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A as well as inhibiting the
activity of HYDROXYMETHYLGLUTARYL COA REDUCTASES which is the rate limiting enzyme
in the biosynthesis of cholesterol.;
