7:02AM ISIS Pharm reports reduction of apoB-100 levels in a murine model resulting in up to 92% reduction of atherosclerosis (ISIS) 17.38 : The co presented the results of two studies designed to assess the impact of lowering apoB-100 on atherosclerosis at the 2008 Annual Atherosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. In the first study, the impact of treatment with an antisense drug was evaluated in the context of two atherogenic high fat diets. Animals on these diets had elevated total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels that increased during the two weeks of high fat diet prior to drug treatment. The second study, which evaluated the effects of increasing doses of drug on lipid levels, confirms and extends the results of the previous study, and showed that the effects of the apoB-100 antisense drug were linearly dose-dependent with regard to reductions on apoB-100 and atherogenic lipid levels, triglycerides, and atherosclerotic plaques.
