The experiments reported here demonstrated that prophylactic use of trecrezan delayed the development of atherosclerosis in rabbits, with decreases in aortic atherosclerotic plaques and reductions in cholesterol, triacylglycerols, and β-lipoprotein levels in serum, liver, and aortic tissue. Trecrezan accelerated the synthesis of tryptophanyl tRNA synthetase, which is the key component in the complex mechanism of action of this agent.
