Atorvastatin decreases cholesterol and lipoprotein levels by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase and hepatic cholesterol synthesis, and increases the number of cell surface LDL-C receptors in the liver to increase uptake and catabolism of LDL-C. Ezetimibe reduces cholesterol by blocking its absorption in the small intestine via the sterol transporter, Nieman-Pick C1-Like 1, which transports cholesterol and phytosterols from the intestine. Decreased cholesterol absorption from the small intestine reduces hepatic cholesterol stores and increases cholesterol clearance
