Filter by:The primary purpose of this study was to assess the effect of aspirin (ASA) on niacin extended-release (NER)-induced flushing in subjects with dyslipidemia.
We hypothesized that short-term treatment with AP drugs induces insulin resistance through a mechanistic route that is independent of weight gain and that atypical drugs exert stronger effects than typical compounds in this respect. We therefore treated healthy non-obese men with olanzapine (atypical AP) or haloperidol (typical AP) for 8 days, and studied the impact of these interventions on glucose and lipid metabolism by hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp, isotope dilution technology and indirect calorimetry.

The primary purpose of this study is to test the effect and safety of once daily ABT-335 on the thickness of the lining of the carotid artery (a blood vessel to the brain) in patients with abnormal blood lipids who have optimal levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol ("bad cholesterol") after taking atorvastatin.
The purpose of the study is to learn whether genetics plays a role in predicting response to a commonly used and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved medication for lowering triglycerides and cholesterol. The hypothesis: The pharmacogenetics of genes which affect drug metabolism (how the body handles the drug) and drug targets (how the drug acts on the body) influences how a person responds to the lipid lowering medication-fenofibrate.
To test the ability of GSK256073 to block niacin-induced flushing when GSK256073 and niacin are co-administered as single doses to HVTs.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mipomersen (ISIS 301012) in subjects with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia on lipid-lowering therapy. This study consisted of a 26-week treatment period and a 24-week post-treatment follow-up period. Following treatment and Week 28 evaluations, participants could elect to enroll in an open-label extension study (301012-CS6; NCT00694109). Participants who were not eligible or elected not to enroll in the open-label extension study or who discontinued during the 28-week treatment period were followed in this study for 24 weeks from administration of the last dose of study drug.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the short-term effects of tetradecylthioacetic acid (TTA) on plasma lipids and glucose in male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia
Thyroid hormones are known to reduce cholesterol levels through regulation of a number of key enzymes involved in synthesis, degradation, and lipid transport. However, the currently marketed thyroid agonists are non-selective, and cannot be used for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia due to extrahepatic consequences of hyperthyroidism, especially on heart, bone, and muscle. To take advantage of thyroid hormone effect on lipid metabolism for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, it is necessary to develop a selective thyroid receptor agonist that can induce hyperthyroidism in the liver, while an euthyroid state is preserved in the extrahepatic tissue. KB2115 is a thyroid agonist developed to be liver selective. The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of KB2115 as add on therapy to low and middle doses of statin following 12 weeks of exposure compared to placebo. The aim of the study is to assess efficacy (LDL-cholesterol lowering effects) and safety of KB2115 at doses between 25 and 100 µg and to define a clinically relevant dose or dose range for future studies.
