Cardiac Pharmacology [Part 1] Statins & Diabetics Drugs

The video tutorial covers various medications used in cardiac pharmacology, focusing on their mechanisms and effects. It explains how statins inhibit cholesterol synthesis, reducing LDL and atherosclerosis risk. The role of sulfonylureas in diabetes management is discussed, highlighting their action on insulin release and LDL reduction. Biguanides are examined for their impact on glucose production and insulin sensitivity. Finally, GLP-1 receptor agonists are explored for their role in enhancing insulin release in type 1 diabetes patients.

Discuss the relationship between LDL and atherosclerosis.

What are the effects of insulin sensitivity improvement in type 2 diabetes?

What is the function of GLP-1 receptor agonists in diabetes management?
