So now let me talk about the one that people are so excited about and that I said multiple times already.
That is a nonsense word called PCSK9 inhibitors.
PCSK9 inhibitors, yes.
PCSK9 is the shorthand name for a protein that I'm not going to tell you the name of because I don't know it.
It's too long.
But this is a protein that our liver makes.
It's really interesting.
Its job, this protein, is to degrade, break down LDL receptor proteins.
OK, so this protein is kind of like an anti recycler of this protein, of this receptor who usually collects the LDL in our bloodstream.
OK, yeah.
Why does this protein do this?
Yeah, I don't know right now.
But that is what it does.
So if you can block this enzyme, this protein, then you will have more LDL receptors available to be reused and recycled to be collecting our LDL cholesterol in our bloodstream.
So this is like a Velcro glove thief, this protein.
Exactly.
It's a Velcro glove thief.
Then the Velcro gloves are numerous and available to catch all those tennis balls of LDL.
I really like this analogy, by the way.
It's a really good analogy.
