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.
