Answer:

(B). inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase.

Explanation:

Lovastatin is a drug, which is used to reduce risk for cardiovascular diseases and to reduce level of cholesterol in blood.

It works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase) enzyme, required for the formation of mevalonate from HMG-CoA.

Mevalonate is building block for the biosynthesis of cholesterol. Hence, lovastatin inhibits cholesterol production by inhibiting synthesis of mevalonate.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

If I want to be an RN can I complete college in 4 years?
Anna35 [415]

Answer

There are several different educational paths that will lead you to a degree in nursing depending on your background and preference. You will need to go to school for a minimum of two years for an associates degree in nursing (unless you already have a degree in another major) and a maximum of four years to obtain a BSN degree. There are some diploma programs still in operation (no degree), but it is increasingly important to have a degree in nursing to be competitive.

La OMS (Organización Mundial de la Salud) definió a la salud como "el estado de completo bienestar físico, mental y social, y no
seropon [69]

Answer:

La definición de salud de la OMS establece que la salud no es solo la ausencia de enfermedad sino que también es estar bien mentalmente, físicamente y socialmente. Esta definición no abarca solo curar a una persona cuando esté enferma, también habla sobre la prevención de la enfermedad manteniendo una vida equilibrada en lo que concierne a lo físico, mental y social.

La definición de salud de la OPS es mucho más estrecha. Esta solo incluye la adaptación de la persona a su medio, lo cual si lo comparamos con la definición de la OMS este concepto podría entrar dentro del bienestar físico, mental y social. Podemos ver que no se refiere específicamente a la enfermedad y que la ausencia de esta sería por una adaptación exitosa de la persona. A su vez la adaptación es una forma de prevenir la ausencia de salud según la definición de la OPS.

Explanation:

La Organización Mundial de la Salud y la Organización Panamericana de la Salud. son dos entidades que se especializan en la salud a nivel internacional. La OPS actualmente forma parte de la OMS ya que es una oficina para la región americana de la OMS. Estas dos organizaciones empezaron por separado y tienen definiciones de salud diferentes pero podemos ver que ambas trabajan para prevenir y curar enfermedades.
