HMGCR and hyperlipidemia: Some studies support our results, as it has been reported that the leaves of A. cherimola have activity against hyperlipidemia, decreasing the concentration of CHO, TG, and LDL-C [32,34,36]; in addition, it has been reported that from a decoction of the leaves, a reduction in cholesterol absorption was obtained by decreasing the activity of the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase in in vitro experiments [48].
