Abstract
To provide a pharmaceutically effective prophylactic/preventive agent for low-HDL cholesterolemia, focusing on an HDL-generating mechanism. The ABCA1 stabilizer of the present invention contains a bisphenol-type compound selected form probucol spiroquinone, probucol diphenoquinone, and probucol bisphenol as an effective ingredient. The ABCA1 stabilizer can continuously and stably express ABCA1 by a mechanism quite different from that of conventional processes, and thus is useful as prophylactic/preventive agent for low-HDL cholesterolemia or arteriosclerosis.
