Dyslipidemia are frequently found in children and have been demonstrated earlier in the population due to the increase of obesity. Statins inhibit the enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA reductase) and they are responsible to decrease total cholesterol, mainly LDL-cholesterol. Rosuvastatin is one of the last generation statin and shows pharmacological advantages and high…
Dyslipidemy is a frequent disorder that have been manifested early in the population as a consequence of the increase of the number of obeses. Statins are inhibitors of the enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase (HMG-CoA redutase) and are, therefore, responsible for reducing total cholesterol, mainly LDL-cholesterol. Rosuvastatin is a last generation statin and it presents sever…
