(HDL‐C) predict premature coronary artery disease, as do elevated levels of apolipoprotein …

Atherosclerosis is one of the most frequent causes of cardiac arrest. The major cause of this
disease is high concentrations of lipid in the blood. Medicinal agents so far have been quite …

Introduction: Normally the N-terminal domain of the LDL receptor (LDLR) binds to low-
