چکیده    Background: statins (hmg coa reductase inhibitors),in addition to reducing circulating cholesterol and incidence of coronary heart disease,also have pleiotropic,anti-inflammatory effects. patients with chronic liver diseases,non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) or hepatitis c are often excluded from statin therapy because of adverse effects in a small cohort of patients despite increased cardiovascular risk cholesterol. ezetimibe,which inhibits cholesterol absorption by inhibition of niemann-pick c1 like 1 (npc1l1) protein in the brush border of intestinal cells,has been suggested as a new therapeutic option in these patients. methods: effects of ezetimibe on lipoprotein metabolism,hepatic and intestinal lipid content in guinea pigs,an animal model with a lipoprotein profile and pattern similar to humans were investigated. in order to investigate a possible effect of ezetimibe on cholesterol induced inflammation nf-kappab activation as an indicator for inflammatory processes in liver and gut tissue was measured. results: lipid enriched diet led to accumulation of lipids in hepatic tissue which caused strong hepatic nf-kappab activation. ezetimibe reduced lipid diet induced increase of circulating cholesterol by about 77% and prevent hepatic nf-kappab activation almost completely. in contrast in intestinal cells ezetimibe,though lowering diet induced cholesterol accumulation,increased triglyceride content and subsequent nf-kappab activation. conclusion: in summary these data show,that ezetimibe effectively reduced diet induced circulating cholesterol levels,hepatic lipid accumulation and inflammatory response in our guinea pig model. however this drug elicited a local inflammatory response in intestinal tissue. whether these diverse effects of ezetimibe on inflammatory parameters such as nf-kappab have clinical relevance remains to be determined. © 2017 the author(s).
