probucol and Hypertrophy

probucol has been researched along with Hypertrophy in 1 studies

Probucol: A drug used to lower LDL and HDL cholesterol yet has little effect on serum-triglyceride or VLDL cholesterol. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p993).
probucol : A dithioketal that is propane-2,2-dithiol in which the hydrogens attached to both sulfur atoms are replaced by 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl groups. An anticholesteremic drug with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, it is used to treat high levels of cholesterol in blood.

Hypertrophy: General increase in bulk of a part or organ due to CELL ENLARGEMENT and accumulation of FLUIDS AND SECRETIONS, not due to tumor formation, nor to an increase in the number of cells (HYPERPLASIA).

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"This probucol-induced increase in HO-1 mRNA and inhibition of RASMC proliferation was prevented by the HO inhibitor Sn(IV) protoporphyrin or transfection with small interference RNA (siRNA) to knockdown HO-1, but not by inactive Cu(II) protoporphyrin or scrambled siRNA."1.32Probucol protects against smooth muscle cell proliferation by upregulating heme oxygenase-1.
