Low Density Lipoprotein Clearance (LDL Clearance)

Target
LDL Clearance
Molecular classification
Pathway, Metabolic Process
01

Overview

Low density lipoprotein (LDL) clearance refers to the physiological process by which LDL particles, which transport cholesterol in the blood, are removed from circulation. This process is crucial for maintaining cholesterol homeostasis and preventing atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.

02

Mechanism of action

Enhance clearance capacity and lower plasma levels of harmful cholesterol fractions.

03

Biological functions

Cholesterol homeostasisLipid metabolismEndocytosisReceptor recyclingIntracellular cholesterol delivery
