Lovastatin enhances hepatic uptake of low density lipoprotein in humans.
A noninvasive method for visualizing the uptake of low density lipoprotein (LDL) was used to investigate the effect of hypolipidemic drugs on LDL uptake by the human liver in vivo. Fourteen hypercholesterolemic patients (six with familial hypercholesterolemia and eight with common hypercholesterolem...
