Simvastatin 42-53 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase Mesocricetus auratus 122-139 8835365-7 1995 The toxicity of simvastatin could indeed result from the low basal activity of HMG-CoA reductase in hamster liver coupled with a prolonged inhibition of mevalonate synthesis. Simvastatin 16-27 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase Mesocricetus auratus 79-96 9763219-0 1998 Down-regulation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase mRNA levels and synthesis in syrian hamster C100 cells by the oxidosqualene cyclase inhibitor [4"-(6-allyl-ethyl-amino-hexyloxy)-2"-fluoro-phenyl]-(4-bromophenyl)-me thanone (Ro 48-8071): comparison to simvastatin. Simvastatin 269-280 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase Mesocricetus auratus 19-66 9763219-7 1998 In contrast, simvastatin, at concentrations inhibiting cholesterol synthesis by the same 50-75%, increased both HMGR mRNA levels and synthesis, as well as LDL uptake. Simvastatin 13-24 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase Mesocricetus auratus 112-116 9763219-9 1998 Still, simvastatin markedly increased both HMGR mRNA levels and synthesis in cells incubated in the presence of LDL, leaving LDL uptake unaffected. Simvastatin 7-18 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase Mesocricetus auratus 43-47
