The effect of bempedoic acid on histopathologic changes associated with natural aging in rat lungs
It is hypothesized that statins, a class of antihyperlipidemic drugs, exert a protective effect against aging due to their ability to correct oxidative damage. Similarly, bempedoic acid's effect on fat oxidation and cholesterol metabolism may be associated with its protective role in the lungs.
