Filter by:This is a two part study (Part A and Part B) that will first aim to establish the PK/PD relationship between exposure and lipid effects (Part A: 75 subjects), and will then confirm the effect using the most relevant dose(s) (Part B: ~90 subjects). Doses of 5mg, 50mg and 150mg of GSK256073 will be administered in Part A, and the dose(s) for Part B will be based on the PK/PD data from Part A. Data from Part A and Part B will be combined to decrease overall subject numbers needed in part B. Part B of the study will include a niaspan arm for relative comparison of the effects of GSK256073 and niacin on lipids and flushing
The purpose of the study is to test whether increased saturated fat intake results in increased levels of larger LDL and HDL particles in individuals with LDL Pattern B.
This is a retrospective review of patients who have undergone bariatric surgery at VUMC and who have type 2 Diabetes and/or dyslipidemia. The investigators have previously found that gastric bypass significantly improves diabetes 6-12 months after surgery. The investigators are interested in looking at the longer term results after surgery.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of pitavastatin and atorvastatin on adiponectin percentage change in patients with hypercholesteremia comorbid stable CAD.
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of MCI-196 over placebo and non-inferiority with simvastatin in reducing serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol in subjects with chronic kidney disease Stage V on dialysis. This study incorporates a Washout Period and two treatment periods - an active comparison phase and a placebo-controlled withdrawal phase.
The overall goal of this study is to determine whether variations in the perilipin, and several other, genes would be a useful tool for physicians who are caring for morbidly obese patients to guide therapy. The main hypotheses to be tested is that sequence variations (polymorphisms) in the perilipin gene and several other obesity-related genes are associated with resistance to weight loss for obese individuals on energy restricted diets, potentially playing a role in the development of obesity related complications.
Type 2 diabetes (T2D), because of impaired glucose regulation and consequent hyperglycemia, promotes the development of coronary heart disease. Secondary dyslipidemia is often associated with T2D and enhances the risk of cardiovascular complications. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) are selectively administrated for the treatment of dyslipidemia, leading to a significant reduction of cardiovascular risk. More recently, revisions to guidelines have established a lower therapeutic LDL cholesterol goal for diabetic patients, requiring the administration of higher dose of statin. However, it is unclear whether high dose statin therapy could affect glycemic control in diabetic patients. Moreover, data regarding the effects of statins on insulin-resistance and endothelial function are controversial.
The purpose of this study is to test whether replacing dietary carbohydrate with protein, using beef as the primarily source of protein, will improve risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
This study will evaluate the lipid-modifying effect and tolerability of MK1903 when compared to placebo in patients with dyslipidemia who are not on a statin or other lipid-modifying therapy.
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of eggplant extract capsules on the lipid profile of healthy individuals after an oral lipid overload test in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
