The most important part of photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts. These small photosynthesis factories buried within the leaves house chlorophyll, a green pigment secreted in the chloroplast membranes. Chlorophyll absorbs a wide range of the spectrum of sunlight, giving the plant as much energy as it can for its reactions.
The liver makes cholesterol to use in production of bile. Bile-acid-binding resins attach to the bile acids, causing the liver to use more cholesterol than it normally does. When effective, this type of medication lowers the overall cholesterol levels in the body. Resins available for prescription are L-Cholest, Prevalite and Questran (cholestyramine), Welchol (colesevelam) and Colestid (colestipol).
Medications are often used to treat hypercholesterolemia when lifestyle changes alone do not sufficiently lower cholesterol. For example, some of the drugs that lower cholesterol include statins, bile acid sequestrants, and cholesterol absorption inhibitors. Your healthcare provider may use a combination of drugs to treat your condition.
