Alternative to statins, lowers "bad" cholesterol by two-thirds, was tested in the form of injections, but the scientists are going to make a tablet. It was called AMG 145, passes The Telegraph.
The tool helps the body to use the low-density lipoprotein faster than usual. Thus cleansed vessels. By the way, statins work by slowing the production of "bad cholesterol."
The test, conducted at 631 patients with high cholesterol and already sitting on a statin, showed that injections of 145 mg every two weeks reduced the rates by 66% for 12 weeks. It turned out, the concentration fell by more than 2.0 mmol per liter. And every drop of concentration of 1 mM corresponds to decrease the risk of heart attack or stroke by 20-25%.
Dr. Robert Gigliano of Brigham Women's Hospital said the results successful, because the efficiency combined with the absence of serious side effects (from statins usually develop muscle pain and muscle weakness). But still to be a long trial on more volunteers.
