Gemfibrozil is a synthetic compound derived from fibrin, a naturally occurring fatty acid. It is a hyperlipidemic agent that elevates plasma HDL and lowers triglycerides and LDL by stabilizing apoA-I mRNA transcripts. Gemfibrozil has garnered substantial attention in scientific research, serving various purposes. In vitro studies have delved into the molecular mechanisms underlying gemfibrozil′s actions and its effects on diverse cell types.
