Filter by:We aimed to address the issue whether statins affect insulin resistance. To this end, we combined the available state-of-the art technology for detailed assessment of both whole-body and tissue specific insulin sensitivity in vivo in humans (euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp, stable isotope [6,6-2H2]glucose dilution technique, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy - 1H MRS - of liver and skeletal muscle). Outcome measures were determined before and after 8 weeks therapy with 80 mg Simvastatin in hypercholesterolemic patients with type 2 diabetes.
This is a prospective, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial comparing the the effects of approximately 7 weeks of placebo treatment to 7 weeks of ezetimibe (10mg/day) treatment on several parameters of reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) in men and post-menopausal women diagnosed with hypercholesterolemia. The primary hypothesis is that the ezetimibe treatment will increase the excretion of endogenous (plasma-derived) cholesterol as fecal sterols, with secondary hypotheses that there will be a significant increase in de novo cholesterol synthesis, treatment will increase cholesterol efflux from tissues into the bloodstream, and increase global RCT.
The aim was to investigate the effects of the consumption of high doses of plant stanol esters on concentrations of serum lipids, carotenoids and fat soluble vitamins. In addition, we investigated the metabolism of absorbed plant sterols from intestine without and with the consumption of plant stanol esters.
This is a single-arm, phase IV, open-label, prospective, non interventional study to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability and safety of rosuvastatin administered for 24 weeks in approximately 900 Greek subjects with hypercholesterolemia under normal clinical practice.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of extended dosing with mipomersen (ISIS 301012) in participants with familial hypercholesterolemia or severe hypercholesterolemia on lipid-lowering therapy who had completed either the 301012-CS5 (NCT00607373), 301012-CS7 (NCT00706849), 301012-CS17 (NCT00477594) or MIPO3500108 (NCT00794664) clinical drug trials.
A total of 120 patients will be entered in this study to assess the safety and efficacy of enteric coated sevelamer (ECS) to lower LDL cholesterol. Patients will be randomized into two active treatment groups, two placebo groups and one active control group.
Evaluate the efficacy of combination therapy AEGR-733 plus atorvastatin 20 mg versus monotherapy on serum lipoproteins over 4 and 8 weeks of therapy. The primary efficacy parameter is percent change in LDL-C after 8 weeks of therapy.
The study explores efficacy and safety of the lipid-lowering therapy with CRESTOR in statin-naive patients and in patients with previously unsuccessful statin therapy. This study was designed to investigate the dynamic of the lipid parameters and therapy tolerability during 8-10 weeks treatment with CRESTOR
The survey will try to establish the proportion of patients on lipid-lowering pharmacological treatment reaching the LDL-C goals according to the third NCEP ATP guidelines, overall and by country.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of MK-6213 as compared to MK-6213/Atorvastatin in participants 18 to 75 years) with high cholesterol.
