What to do if i do not understand pcsk9 and its function. can you dumb it down for me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PCSK9: " PCSK9 lowers the amount of LDL the liver can remove from blood and subsequently break down. When PCSK9 is inhibited, the liver can efficiently metabolize LDL, lowering cholesterol levels in blood."
