A sterol produced by the liver and important for cell health. However, certain diets and livestyles can lead to an imbalance or sub optimal level of cholesterol
The use of a pharmaceutical form of the B vitamin niacin to raise HDL cholesterol levels was more effective then using the drug ezetimibe to lower LDL cholesterol levels for patients at high cardiovascular risk who also took statins, reports a new
