â Blood viscosity â Total blood vessel length â Blood vessel diameter Resistance â¢ Factors that remain relatively constant: â Blood viscosity â¢ The stickiness of blood due to formed elements and plasma proteins â¢ Increased viscosity = increased resistance â Blood vessel length â¢ Longer vessel = greater resistance encountered
Jasmonic acid (JA) is derived from the fatty acid linolenic acid. It is a member of the jasmonate class of plant hormones. It is biosynthesized from linolenic acid by the octadecanoid pathway.
Bile Acid Sequestrants (Resins). Bile acid sequestrants are nonsoluble polymers that trap bile acids in the intestinal lumen and promote their excretion in feces. As a consequence, they lower the hepatic cholesterol pool and promote the expression of LDL receptors in the liver.he second generation of bile acid sequestrants, for example colesevelam, is more specific, binds bile acids with greater affinity and is better tolerated. As monotherapy at a daily dose of 3.8 g colesevelam reduces LDL-C by up to 16% in hypercholesterolemic patients.
