mevalonate. This is actually precursor of sterols that even include cholesterol. It is mainly seen to
lower the plasma cholesterol as well as levels of lipoprotein mainly by the inhibition of the HMG
CoA reducatse and synthesis of cholesterol in the liver. It also increase the number of Hepatic LDL
receptors on the surface of the cells for enhancement of uptake and catabolism of LDL.
