site of action of cholesterol absorption inhibitors?
105765
The inhibitors work by binding to cholesterol in the intestines, such that they can't be reabsorbed. So in essence, the entire intestinal tract is the site of action.

Xenical (also called orlistat) is a weight loss drug in a class of drugs called lipase inhibitors.  Lipase is an enzyme that takes in fat from your stomach and intestines into the body.  It does so by cutting up fat into smaller pieces so that it can be transported through the blood.  By blocking these enzymes you are essentially making the body unable to process or take in fat from the food that you eat (dietary fat).  The fat then essentially passes out in your feces.  According to studies, about 30% of dietary fat is passed out of the body that would have otherwise been absorbed.  Three times more patients on Xenical + diet lost more than 10% of body weight versus patients on a sugar pill + diet.  In addition, the drug has recently been approved to help treat type II diabetes in obese patients.\n\nThe predominant problem with Xenical is the significant side effects associated with taking this drug, most of which are gastrointestinal events such as oily spotting (26.6%), flatulence with discharge (23.9%), fecal urgency, fatty/oily stools(22.1%), oily evacuation (11.9%), increased bowel movements (10.8%), and fecal incontinence or uncontrollable fecal movements (7.7%).  The percentages are the number of patients who had reported these problems in the clinical trial.\n\nAs with any other drug, it comes with known benefits and risks.  The whole idea behind taking anything is that the benefits outweigh the risks.  If obesity and the diseases associated with it (diabetes, heart disease, etc) are  serious issues for you, it's best to consult your doctor about whether it is a good choice for you.  It should also be noted that Xenical alone likely won't help with weight gain, but that it should be done with dietary changes.

Bile salts are fluids secreted by the liver and sent to the duodenum where it aids in the emulsification of fats.  Bile acts as an emulsifying agent in the digestive tract by dispersing ingested fats into small globules  Sorry, that is all I know.  Hope it is some help

Pharmacology:\nOrlistat works by inhibiting pancreatic lipase, an enzyme that breaks down triglycerides in the intestine. Without this enzyme, triglycerides from the diet are prevented from being hydrolyzed into absorbable free fatty acids and are excreted undigested. Only trace amounts of orlistat are absorbed systemically, the primary effect is local lipase inhibition within the GI tract after an oral dose. The primary route of elimination is through the feces.\n\nAt the standard prescription dose of 120 mg three times daily before meals, orlistat prevents approximately 30% of dietary fat from being absorbed.\n\n\nEfficacy:\nThe amount of weight loss achieved with orlistat is variable. In 1 year clinical trials, between 35.5% and 54.8% of subjects achieved a 5% or greater decrease in body mass. Between 16.4% and 24.8% achieved at least a 10% decrease in body mass. A significant amount of subjects regained the weight after they stopped using orlistat. Despite this cosmetically small effect, there was a 37% reduction in the incidence of Type 2 diabetes[1], a significant difference.\n\n\nSide effects:\nThe primary side effects of the drug are GI-related. Side effects were most severe within the first year of therapy. Because its main effect is to prevent dietary fat from being absorbed, the fat is excreted unchanged in the feces and so the stool may become oily or loose. Increased flatulence is also common. Bowel movements may become frequent or urgent. Rare occurrence of fecal incontinence have been seen in clinical trials. To minimize these effects, foods with high fat content should be avoided.\n\nThe absorption of fat-soluble vitamins are inhibited by the use of orlistat. A multivitamin tablet containing these vitamins (D, E, A and beta-carotene) should be taken once a day, at least 2 hours before or after taking the drug.

It has been noted in several ongoing studies that certain of the new cholesterol controlling drugs may play a part in reducing existing blockages (occlusions) in coronary arteries however these studies are not complete yet.  \n\nIt has been noted that peripheral arteries do not respond to treatment as coronary arteries do.  While the cause is unknown it is suspected there are certain tissue makeup differences.  \n\nDuke University, among others,  is conducting studies on growing new arteries for patients using various cell growth methods.  Currently it is felt that this approach may well eventually enable complete and total repair of diseased arteries.\n\nAs my doctors say, once an artery is damaged there really is no "making it perfect again".  All they can do is attempt repairs.

I'd say diet is probably key.  Watch your fat intake - especially trans fat.  Eat less red meat. Exercise. Drink red wine.  Check with your Doctor or nutritionist.  It's good to get a baseline bloodwork check and then make some diet changes and get the bloodwork done again to see if you lowered your cholestrol.  Some people still need cholestrol lowering meds to help.  HTH's

The short answer is the small intestine. The small intesting does the primary job of absorption, absorbing the nutrients (i.e., proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins [water and fat soluble], water and electrolytes. However, the large intestine does absorb the remaining additional water, vitamin B, and some electrolytes.\n\nLike I said, that is the short answer...if you need additional information let me know!

Vytroin is a combination of 2 different drugs- Zocor (aka simvastatin, a member of the "statin" family that also includes Lipitor, Pravachol, etc. which reduces the amount of cholesterol your body naturally produces) and Zetia. Zetia is just Zetia, it blocks absorption of cholesterol from food.

There are many ways to get there and of course no one pill fits all are appropriate.\n\nOne of the most effective cholesterol natural remedy is: Linen seeds... You crush them and just add some to you current meals..\n\nThe other is food combination ( you should find proper guidelines on the internet)\n\nAnd the main thing is CHANGE YOU LIFESTYLE... and that one is usually the less attractive one for the majority!!!
