Filter by:Mastiha Oil is a 100% natural product of the Mediterranean, extracted from the resin of Mastiha. Its composition is high in bioactive ingredients (such as terpenic acids and polyphenols) which have proven anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cardioprotective, chemoprotective and antimicrobial properties. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of Mastiha oil in adults with Hypetriglyceridemia. 100 participants will be allocated to two groups, (50 in intervention group and 50 in control group). Mastiha oil will be provided in the form of soft gel capsules to the intervention group, whereas the control group will not consume the capsules. Both groups will receive standard nutritional counselling. The intervention will last 3 months. The effects of the intervention will be evaluated via clinical and laboratory markers.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin with antioxidant properties. Previous studies showed that the administration of vitamin C was associated with decreased triglyceride (TG) levels in ambulatory patients, especially in patients with type 2 diabetes. The decrease in TG level was more significant the younger the patient's age (less than 52.8 years), the longer the administration of vitamin C lasted (over 12 weeks) and the higher the daily dose was (over 1 gram per day) (2). However, we did not find any studies that examined the relationship between administration of vitamin C and lowering of TG level in critical patients in intensive care. High TG levels are often found in these patients, secondary to sepsis, administration of propofol by continuous infusion, administration of TPN, pancreatitis, liver failure and chronic dyslipidemia, diabetes and chronic renal failure. High TG levels in these patients may cause pancreatitis secondary to elevated TG, and we take several actions to lower TG levels in the unit when they exceed 500 mg per dL in order to avoid these complications. The actions taken include starting treatment with fibrates and/or statins, giving high-dose insulin, stopping the propofol drip and changing it to another hypnotic drug (usually midazolam), and giving fat-free TPN instead of fat-containing TPN. There are of course disadvantages to these interventions, such as drug interactions, longer clearance time and higher incidence of delirium when giving midazolam compared to propofol, hypoglycemia when giving a continuous insulin drip in high doses and giving a lower amount of calories to a patient who will receive TPN without lipids. There are many studies that examined the administration of vitamin C to patients in intensive care, especially patients with sepsis, with varied but inconclusive results. A recently published meta-analysis found a reduction in mortality among critical intensive care patients treated with intravenous vitamin C, especially in the subgroup of critically ill patients with a high risk of in-hospital mortality. The drug was found to be safe for use among patients in intensive care. In these patients in the various studies, vitamin C treatment was given intravenously in different doses, with most patients receiving a dose of 6 grams per day for 3-5 days. In light of a trend about five years ago that showed an improvement in survival among septic patients in intensive care who were treated with intravenous vitamin C as monotherapy, or in combination with steroids and/or intravenous thiamine, also in the intensive care unit at our institution (as well as in other hospitals) we started giving this treatment, at the recommended dose of 6 grams per day for 3-5 days. Over time, new studies did not find clear benefits for this treatment, so we gradually stopped giving it. However, if indeed vitamin C can contribute to a significant decrease in TG levels in patients in intensive care, there may be a point in administering it to a group of patients with high TG levels, in order to reduce complications associated with a high TG level and/or treatment to reduce it.
Investigation of the efficacy and safety of an Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) supplement versus a placebo supplement on plasma triglyceride levels as well as inflammatory, thrombotic, endothelial and platelet activation markers, in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (DM-2).
The study will evaluate safety and tolerance of intravenous delivery of GC304 gene therapy drug as a treatment of primary hypertriglyceridemic patients with previous onset of acute pancreatitis.
This is a randomized, double blinded, phase 1 study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single dose of VSA003 in healthy adult volunteerst
To compare the efficacy of infusion containing insulin and infusion without insulin on reduction of triglycerides in acute hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis
During pregnancy, hypertriglyceridemia is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, large for gestational age (LGA), and preterm delivery. However, whether lifestyle intervention for hypertriglyceridemia during pregnancy improves pregnancy outcomes remains unknown. Therefore, we will conduct a randomized controlled trial to investigate this issue. At a tertiary medical center, we will enroll 70 pregnant women in this prospective, open-label, randomized controlled, pilot study comparing the effect of lifestyle intervention for hypertriglyceridemia versus control between Mar 2020 and Mar 2022. Pregnant women recruited will be randomized into two groups. The intervention group will receive lifestyle intervention; whereas the control group will receive regular surveillance only. Only intervention group will have diet education and exercise goal. They will go to dietitian OPD twice at GA 30-31+6 and 33-34+6 for Mediterranean diet education. As for exercise, participants in intervention group are asked to at least take 10000 steps 3 days a week. Diet modification and exercise intervention will persistent until delivery. The primary end point is the change of biomarkers of preeclampsia and macrosomia, including maternal blood PlGF and sFLT1, and cord blood c-peptide, leptin, IGF-1, IGF-2, IGF-BP1 and IGF-BP3. The secondary end points include the change of frequency of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including individual outcome and the composite outcome, such as gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, preterm delivery, and large for gestational age (defined as birth weight ≥ 90th percentile), change of maternal body weight, change of maternal blood pressure, which is defined as 3 mm-Hg, change of maternal HOMA2-IR, change of maternal plasma triglyceride level and other lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL, and LDL), echography finding of fetus, neonatal birth weight, change of glucose, and lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and TG) of fetus cord blood, placental expression of preeclampsia (PlGF, sFLT1) and growth factors (IGF-1, 2, BP1 and BP3).
Investigating the effects of interrupting various lengths of prolonged sitting with bike sprints on post prandial lipemia the next day. We will conduct three trials, one control, one with two-hour sitting intervals (total of 4 bouts of bike sprints) and one with 6-hour sitting intervals I total of two bouts of bike sprints). A milkshake high fat tolerance test will be conducted the next day and whole body fat oxidation as well as triglyceride area under the curve will be measured every hour for the duration of the 6-hour test.
Scientific evidence shows that a major consume of flavonoids is associated with a minor risk of coronary disease and a modification of the gut microbiome profile. Dark chocolate has a major quantity of flavonoids by weight in comparison to wine, dark tea, blueberry juice, apples and, in particular the flavanols (i.e. catechin, epicatechin and procyanidin) can have protective and metabolic effects with reduction of the insulin resistance and improvement of the endothelial function in adults. In line with the aforementioned evidence, the present study has the aim of analyze the effect of dark chocolate (70%) on cardiovascular risk and on the metabolism in a population with mild dyslipidemia.
The aim of this study is to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of intensive insulin in patients with hypertriglyceridemia induced moderate/severe acute pancreatitis on the course and outcome of disease.
