How to test the effects of cholesterol-lowering drugs and grapefruit? I want to do my biology project on this but I need a way to test the effects of drugs on cholesterol cons are combined with the grapefruit.
I fear it is beyond the scope of a simple biology project. The experiment requires a population important test of man or a suitable animal model and the ability to measure serum concentrations of drug.
Well, I can tell you from experience, I took the pill and did not know you should not eat grapefruit! What happened was, but I spotted a skin discoloration on my arms. Perhaps one of the side effects.
Wayyy too complicated and expensive for a biology project. It has everything to do with inhibition of cytochrome P450 3A4, 5.7 liver enzymes.
