ZARATE, Arturo et al. Cholesterol and atherosclerosis. Historical considerations and treatment. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2016, vol.86, n.2, pp.163-169. ISSN 1665-1731.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.acmx.2015.12.002.

Cholesterol is a precursor of steroid hormones and an essential component of the cell membrane, however, altered regulation of the synthesis, absorption and excretion of cholesterol predispose to cardiovascular diseases of atherosclerotic origin. Despite, the recognition of historical events for 200 years, starting with Michel Chevreul naming "cholesterol"; later on, Lobstein coining the term atherosclerosis and Marchand introducing it, Anichkov identifying cholesterol in atheromatous plaque, and Brown and Goldstein discovering LDL receptor; as well as the emerging of different drugs, such as fibrates, statins and cetrapibs this decade, promising to increase HDL and the most recent ezetimibe and anti-PCSK9 to inhibit the degradation of LDL receptor, however morbidity has not been reduced in cardiovascular disease.
