Filter by:Besides maternal hyperglycemia, a strong link between maternal pregravid weight/maternal triglyceride(Tg) levels and fetal growth/childhood obesity/metabolic syndrome in offspring has been demonstrated in largely Caucasian populations. This study aims to explore the link between maternal hypertriglyceridemia and offspring health in Asians.
1. At target LDL-C levels, apoB100 concentrations will be higher than recommended levels in the following populations: 1. Tertiary centre lipid clinic patients with raised TG treated with statins. 2. Patients with type 2 diabetes treated with statins. 3. Patients with Chronic Kidney disease (CKD) stages 4 and 5 treated with statins. 2. Despite achieving LDL-C and non-HDL-C targets, a significant number of statin-treated patients have residual cardiovascular risk related to raised hsCRP. The relationship between hsCRP and Lp-PLA2 (markers of inflammation) and LDL particle number measured by apoB100 is stronger than that of measured and calculated LDL and non-HDL. In statin treated patients there will be higher levels of hs-CRP and Lp-PLA2 in patients achieving LDL targets but not apo B targets. 3. We hypothesise that non-diabetic patients with severe hypertriglyceridaemia (fasting serum triglyceride >5.5 mmol/l) have evidence of greater nerve damage compared with matched controls. 4. LAL deficiency is underdiagnosed in patients with severe hypertriglyceridaemia, low HDL-C, hyperlipidaemias, non alcoholic fatty liver disease and idiopathic high liver enzymes.
The primary objective of this study is to test the effects of two different fish oil products containing DHA and EPA by comparing the omega-3 fatty acid levels in the blood.
Phase 1, first-in-human, randomized, ascending single-dose, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of the safety, tolerability, and bioeffect of REGN1500
The objective of this study is to compare the effects of ciprofibrate versus omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on the vascular structure and function in hypertensive patients with hypertriglyceridemia.
With metformin for the control, evaluate the safety and efficacy of Jiangtangtiaozhi decoction in treatment of obesity with type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia
High levels of triglycerides is a common abnormality found in patients with diabetes and also cardiovascular disease, and may contribute to the risk for both. Omega 3 fatty acids, as found enriched in fish and also in the commercial agent called Lovaza lower triglyceride levels. Prior work from the investigators group demonstrated that an enzyme responsible for the break down of triglycerides - lipoprotein lipase - generates molecules that can activate a specific nuclear receptor known as PPAR-alpha. This study investigates the hypothesis that taking Lovaza shifts the specific fatty acid content of triglyceride containing lipoproteins and increases the ability of those lipoproteins to activate PPAR-alpha.
Lovaza is a special fish oil concentrate, that prescribed at 4 g a day to reduce certain fat (triglycerides) levels in blood.Our goal is to study how Lovaza at doses of 4, 8, and 12 grams per day will reduce fats in the blood of the patients with very high level of triglycerides. Our hypothesis is that patients with very high triglycerides will respond more with higher doses of Lovaza (8 g per day and then 12 g per day).
The purpose of this study is to verify the possible effects of OMACOR(omega-3 fatty acid) on the percentage change of small dense LDL fraction in type 2 diabetic patients with combined hyperlipidemia, we perform open-label prospective randomized multi-institutional phase IV study.
Approximately 1/4 of the US population has insulin resistance and the associated risk factors such as elevated lipid levels -triglycerides (type of fat from what we eat and what the liver produces and low HDL cholesterol which is the good cholesterol helping to protect against heart disease. Currently one known treatment for this a medication called fenofibrate, another medication that can improve insulin resistance is rosiglitazone, a third treatment known to improve insulin resistance an decrease triglycerides is weight loss. In this study insulin resistant individuals with elevated triglycerides and or a ratio of triglycerides to HDL cholesterol of 3:1 or greater will be randomized (selected by chance) to receive one of these treatments and results of insulin sensitivity and cardiac risk profiles will be compared at the end of the study.
