Abstract
Non-cholesterol sterols reflect cholesterol metabolism. Statins reduce cholesterol
synthesis usually with a rise in cholesterol absorption. Common hyperlipemias have
shown different patterns of cholesterol metabolism. We evaluated whether cholesterol
absorption and synthesis may differ after statin therapy in primary hyperlipemias.
