tions that mattered to the decision, the patient’s values and preferences, the evidence used for informing decision making, and the decision the patient then made? What if physicians were paid for shared decision making and clinical decision support? Basing health care financing on supporting decision making for people could change health care, achieving a health care system that informs people, increases public understanding and well-being, aligns health care actions with patient values, and reduces waste, or in other words, what matters most to people.
Effect of a new inhibitor of cholesterol biosynthesis (AY 9944) on serum and tissue sterols in the rat.
AY 9944 is a novel inhibitor of cholesterol biosynthesis which appears to act on the Delta 7-reductase enzyme, interfering with the conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to cholesterol. In all tissues studied, with the exception of the lens, there was a reduction in cholesterol and a marked accumulation of 7-dehydrocholesterol. Isotope studies showed a reduced uptake of acetate into cholesterol, and an increased uptake into 7-dehydrocholesterol, in various tissues in vivo and by skin samples in vitro. There was no apparent accumulation of lanosterol or of the methostenols in the rat skin.
