Ann O'Rexia suffers from anorexia nervosa. In addition to a low body weight, decreased muscle mass, glycogen, and fat stores, she has iron deficiency anemia. She constantly feels weak and tired. When she walks, she feels pain in her calf muscles. On this visit to her nutritionist, they discuss the vitamin content of her diet and its role in energy metabolism.  She is deficient in thiamine, riboflavin, biotin and niacin (the vitamin precursor of NAD+). In the context of the metabolic pathways discussed in Chapter 14, specifically how would these affect carbohydrate metabolism.

Work from the Brown and Goldstein lab provided insights into cholesterol homeostasis that were used to develop several of the LDL cholesterol-lowering therapies, including statins that remain in use today. However, in some patients, statins were not as effective as expected, suggestive of additional mechanisms regulating the LDL receptor. Investigate other LDL cholesterol-lowering therapies (other than PCSK-9 inhibitors), select 1, and compare and contrast the mechanisms of action between the class of drug you select and statins. Include side effects for both types of drugs and information on their efficacy.
