This pharmacology lecture covers topics such as Fish Oils , Omega 3's, pathophysiology of hypertriglyceridemia, regulation of LDL, HDL, Triglycerides and other complications of bad cholesterol buildup. Mechanism of action of fish oil drugs and their side effects. Drugs mentioned include; Lovaza, Vascepa and over the counter fish oils.


Other theorized Mechanism of Actions for Fish oils:

The mechanism of action of LOVAZA is not completely understood.

Potential mechanisms of action include inhibition of acyl CoA:1,2-diacylglycerol acyltransferase, increased mitochondrial and peroxisomal β-oxidation in the liver, decreased lipogenesis in the liver, and increased plasma lipoprotein lipase activity. Fish Oils may reducethe synthesis of triglycerides (TGs) in the liver because EPA and DHA are poor substrates for the enzymes responsible for TG synthesis, and EPA and DHA inhibit esterification of other fatty acids.
