Cholesterol-Lowering of Pantethine is Due to the Hydrolysis Product Cysteamine
Pantethine, a precursor of coenzyme A, has been shown to reduce serum cholesterol levels in hypercholesterolemic rabbits. The enzyme pantetheinase rapidly hydrolyzes pantethine to the vitamin pantothenic acid and the amino thiol cysteamine. This study was designed to compare the effect of cysteamine...
