Cholesterol is an essential building block of cell membranes.
Understand the action of aspirin,1 statins,2 glitazones,3 and nitroglycerin,4
1 Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen are cyclooxygenase enzyme inhibitors which block excessive inflammatory actions – primarily linked to a low absolute amount of ALA, DHA and EPA in the diet (see –
Goyens et al., 2006; Griffin, 2008; Liou and Innis, 2009; Friesen and Innis, 2010).
2 HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors – linked to excess food energy.
Higher cholesterol profile containing patients have higher risk for developing diabetes (NIDDM) if they don't belong to diabetes yet. Again the higher lipid profile tends to fat deposition and decreases the efficacy of insulin to enter the glucose into the cell. Thus the higher HDL-C, LDL-C, TG, TC increases the chance for developing type II diabetes along with a greater risk for hypertension and/or other cardiovascular disturbances. Studies have been found that patients having higher lipid profile along with hypertension and diabetes, the treatment should be aimed at to regulate the lipid profile with lipid lowering drugs e.g. Atorvastatin, Rosuvastatin which indirectly helps to reduce blood pressure and regulates high blood sugar.
