ABSTRACT:
A method of regulating cholesterol related genes, enzymes and other compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and a kit related thereto are provided. Exemplary genes that are regulated include a gene for an LDL receptor, a gene for HMG-CoA reductase, a gene for cholesterol 7-alpha-hydroxylase, and a gene regulating a function involved in cholesterol homeostasis. The method comprises the step of parenterally administering a therapeutically effective amount of a lipid acceptor. The lipid acceptor in one variant includes a multiplicity of large liposomes comprised of phospholipids substantially free of sterol during a treatment period. The method includes the steps of periodically assaying plasma LDL concentrations with an assay during a period of time to assess the plasma LDL and to obtain an LDL profile, and adjusting the parenteral administration in response to the LDL profile. The method further includes the step of enhancing tissue penetration of a cholesterol acceptor and enhancing extraction of tissue cholesterol and other exchangeable material with co-administration of an effective amount of a compound selected from the group consisting of a small acceptor of cholesterol, an amphipathic compound, and a drug that increases endogenous small acceptors of cholesterol.
