Elevated Serum Cholesterol

Physiological disturbances common to B6 avitaminosis were clearly manifested when 3-day-old chicks were fed a pyridoxine-deficient diet for 8 days. Body and liver weights were depressed but were restored to quasi-normal states after 4 days of pyridoxine supplementation (3 mg/lb diet). The elevated serum cholesterol levels observed were the result of a failure of this parameter to fall at the rate characteristic of a well-fed bird and not to a specific elevation of the serum cholesterol above the starting conditions. Liver cholesterol levels were unaffected by the hypovitaminosis. Pyridoxine supplementation rapidly re-established normal serum cholesterol levels.The significant depression of C14-acetate incorporation into liver and serum cholesterol of 7-day-old pyridoxine-deficient chicks was maintained for the next 8 days. Mevalonate-2-C14 incorporation into liver cholesterol was not significantly depressed by the hypovitaminosis at any time during the study. Unlike the controls, mevalonate-2-C14 incorporation into serum cholesterol was significantly lowered in the 11-day-old pyridoxine-deficient chicks, but not at any other time during the study.The significance of these findings and the possible relationship between these factors are discussed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics of carbamazepine at steady state, after multiple doses in patients with elevated serum cholesterol levels. Twelve patients participated in the investigation; patients were divided into two groups according to their total serum cholesterol levels. Each patient received multiple doses of carbamazepine 600 mg po once per day. Blood samples were collected and analyzed for carbamazepine by gas-liquid chromatography. The clearance concept was used to describe the pharmacokinetic behavior of carbamazepine in high and low cholesterol patients. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve was determined by the trapezoidal rule method. This value was used to determine the oral dose clearance. In this study, the authors found that the elevated serum cholesterol and elevated total lipids cause a decrease in drug concentration. The significantly higher values of the total body clearance of carbamazepine, obtained in patients with elevated serum cholesterol levels, may have significance in clinical practice.

Prevention Of Atherosclerosis

Decreasing atherosclerosis and atherosclerotic events is highly desirable, and the prevention of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease may be possible even from early ages. Attention has been focused by some on decreasing serum cholesterol levels. Serum cholesterol has been termed a "risk factor" for cardiovascular disease. This is a misnomer because, even in extensive epidemiologic studies in which elevated serum cholesterol levels have been associated with increased incidence of cardiovascular disease, no causal relationship has been established. A more accurate term, with present knowledge, is that an elevated level of serum cholesterol (or specific lipoprotein or apoproteins) is a "marker" for increased cardiovascular risk events.
