Meglutol
Product Specifications
UNSPSC Description
Meglutol is a lipid-lowering agent. Meglutol can reduces cholesterol, triglycerides, serum β-lipoprotein, and phospholipids, and inhibits the activity of HMG-CoA reductase (a rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis). Meglutol can induce significant lipid oxidative damage in brain tissue. It is promising for research in the field of cardiovascular diseases and metabolic diseases[1][2].
