Filter by:The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the superior efficacy of NK-104-CR 8 mg daily compared to Livalo® IR 4 mg daily on fasting serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction and to evaluate the comparative safety of NK-104-CR 8 mg daily to Livalo® IR 4 mg daily after long-term treatment
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of NK-104-CR with Placebo and Livalo® on the reduction of LDL-C and to evaluate the safety of NK-104-CR in patients with primary hyperlipidemia or mixed dyslipidemia
Background: - Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Eating fruits and vegetables with chemicals called flavonoids may protect against heart disease and improve blood flow to the heart. They are found in blackcurrant berries. Oils found in fish and mussels called omega-3 fats have also been shown to protect the heart. Researchers want to know if blackcurrant extract and omega-3 fats can improve blood flow, which may increase blood to the heart. They also want to learn about the health of blood vessels and how the heart works. Objective: - To learn if blackcurrant extract and omega-3 fats will improve blood flow and make the heart beat stronger. Eligibility: - Healthy adults 55 to 75 years old. Design: - Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. - Visit 1 will take 6 7 hours. - Participants will have physical exam and blood and urine tests. - A small device like a microphone will be placed on their arm to take pictures of blood vessels. A blood pressure cuff will be tightened on their arm and more pictures will be taken. - Blood pressure cuffs will be placed on their arms and legs. They will be tightened at the same time and blood pressure will be measured. - Participants will answer questions about their eating and exercise. - Every 8 weeks, participants switch from taking blackcurrant and/or omega-3 tablets to a placebo to no tablets. <TAB> - Every 8 weeks, they will have another shorter clinic visit that will repeat most of visit 1.
The study intends to investigate whether genetics influence how individuals respond to statins (clinical outcomes and changes in carotid intimal media thickness)
The purpose of this study is to measure the effect vitamin D has in alleviating muscle pain or aches that may be caused by taking certain medications for treating high cholesterol.
To measure the percentage of patients who achieve all the treatment lipid goals being treated with ezetimibe/simvastatin 10/20 with or without MK0524A (1-2 g/day).
HIV patients treated with Highly Active AntiRetroviral Therapy (HAART) show significant metabolic symptoms, such as lipodystrophy, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance. A possible contribution to these symptoms in HIV/HAART is a decrease in mitochondrial function, resulting in a decreased fatty acid oxidation. A combined regime of aerobic and resistance training has been demonstrated to increase lean body mass and reduce overall fat and truncal fat and the levels of triglyceride and LDL cholesterol.
