pcsk9 inhibitors

How do PCSK9 Inhibitors function?

These inhibitors function by binding to PCSK9, preventing it from interacting with LDL receptors on liver cells. This process increases the number of LDL receptors available to clear LDL-C from the blood, thus reducing overall cholesterol levels. By targeting this specific pathway, PCSK9 inhibitors offer a novel mechanism of action compared to traditional statins.
