A vaccine for lowering cholesterol, and triglycerides levels: Repurposing tuberculosis BCG vaccine into a cholesterol-lowering vaccine that inhibits Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): BCG vaccine promotes degradation of HMGCR, decreases the levels of triglycerides, free cholesterol, and total cholesterol and prevents the progression of Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD, via down regulation of its target gene, 30/July/2018, 12.18 am

Significance of the study: Given that: (1) 15-30% of Western populations suffer from Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), while 6-25% of Asian populations suffer from it; (2) 75 to […]
