Filter by:Lifestyle changes including diet therapy and weight loss can improve hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) . Furthermore, increasing omega-3 fatty acids intake has therapeutic effects on HTG. Alpha-linolenic acid is the precursor of long-chain omega-3 fatty acid and it is abundant in sources such as chia seeds and flax seeds. Considering the high fiber and omega-3 content of chia seeds and the existing mechanisms for improving lipid profile through fiber and omega-3, animal studies have shown the positive role of chia seed consumption on lipid profile, glycemic and lipid factors, and inflammation. However, in human studies, conflicting results have been obtained and some studies have shown beneficial effects on blood lipid, glycemic, and inflammatory factors, but in some studies, no effect has been observed. The objective of this study is to determine the effects of chia seed consumption on lipids, glycemic and inflammatory factors in people with HTG.
Adipose tissue secreting a number of adipokines which regulate insulin sensitivity, energy metabolism and vascular homeostasis, so the dysfunction of adipose tissue is linked with the incidence of obesity accompanied with insulin resistance, hypertension and cardiovascular disease (1). Obesity is known to alters the expression of adipokines due to the adipose tissue hypertrophy (2), including adiponectin, in which able to exert a potent anti-inflammatory and vascular protective effect (2). It has been proposed that adiponectin acts to prevent the vascular dysfunction due to obesity and diabetes by improves insulin sensitivity and metabolic profiles to reduce the risk factors for cardiovascular disease and protects the vasculature through its pleiotropic actions on endothelial cells, endothelial progenitor cells, smooth muscle cells and macrophages (1). The concentrations of adiponectin of 5 to 25 mg/mL had a significant inhibitory effect on the expression of monocyte adhesion and adhesion molecule induced by TNF-α in vitro. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease in which adhesion molecules on arterial endothelial cells are responsible for the accumulation of monocytes/macrophages and T lymphocytes. While obesity is low-grade inflammation in which make a contribution on endothelial dysfunction by increasing the oxygen-derived free radicals (ROS) due to adipocyte hypertrophy, leads to an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and mitochondrial dysfunction (3). Adiponectin is accumulated in the vasculature, and it reduced on obesity due to suppression by TNF-α and lead to adiponectin-deficiency which stimulate the significant increases of Vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM-1) and Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1 (ICAM-1) or known as CD54 in aortic intima (4). Here we investigate the level of adiponectin, ICAM-1, VCAM-1 with the incidence of MetS in obese adolescents.
The main purpose of this study is to determine the tolerability and side effects related to LY3875383 given as a single injection under the skin to healthy participants and participants with elevated triglyceride (TG) levels.The study will also assess how fast LY3875383 gets into the blood stream and how long the body takes to get rid of it. Each enrolled participant will receive a single dose of either LY3875383 or placebo.The study will be conducted in four parts (A, B, C and D) and may last up to approximately 28 to 56 weeks including screening.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of olezarsen on percent change in fasting triglyceride (TG) levels compared to placebo at Months 6 and 12 and the percentage of participants who achieve different thresholds in fasting TG. Another objective is to evaluate the effect of olezarsen on percent change in fasting apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), remnant cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), HDL-C, total cholesterol (TC), apolipoprotein B (apoB), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and apolipoprotein A-1 (apoA-1).
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 3 doses of fungal lipase in the treatment of adults with mildly elevated serum triglycerides. The secondary objective was to assess the efficacy of fungal lipase in reducing serum triglycerides in adults with mildly elevated serum triglycerides.
The goal of this project is to elucidate interactions between the gut microbiome, anti-inflammatory/anti-oxidant food metabolomic signatures, and human inflammation phenotypes. Inflammation plays both direct and indirect roles in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D), atherogenic cardiovascular diseases, and other causes of morbidity and mortality. Aronia melanocarpa (Aronia berries) are rich in bioactive polyphenolic compounds, which have been shown to lower inflammation and favorably impact metabolism. However, there is tremendous inter-individual variability in the bioavailability of polyphenolics and production of bioactive phenolic metabolites in the colon that depends, at least in part, on digestive metabolism by the gut microbiota. Little is known about the complex interactions among the gut microbiome, anti-inflammatory food metabolomic signatures, and human inflammation phenotypes. This study will utilize a systems-level approach to disentangle these complex interactions. The specific study objectives are as follows: 1. to determine the impact of Aronia supplementation on inflammation, metabolic health, and gut microbiome composition 2. to determine the static and dynamic metabolomic signature of Aronia based on an Aronia supplementation period and responses to a high-fat meal challenge
The investigators aim to evaluate whether and to what extent glucose tolerance, beta cell function, insulin clearance, and glucose metabolic fluxes change in response to an acute increase in plasma triglycerides during lipid infusion, independently of free fatty acid (FFA) levels, in nondiabetic subjects.
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a one of the potentially life-threatening complication of severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), with mortality around to 30%. HTG-associated PA and their complications management has to be the same as the other pancreatitis, but they are associated with the worse clinical outcomes. Triglycerides levels are correlated with the risk of pancreatitis and severity. Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) could provide positive effects in reducing triglyceridemia plasma levels during the acute phase of HTG-AP, and in prevention of recurrence. There is currently no difference about mortality in studies. Some authors have recommended its use only in severe HTG-AP and have precised the need of early initiation to have positive results. Despite such promising findings from studies, the effects of therapeutic plasma exchange on HTG-associated PA have never been specifically assessed and its benefits in critically ill patients with AP remains uncertain.
Elevated cholesterol, including triglyceride levels, can lead to the development of cardiovascular disease in adulthood. A diet that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids (O3FA) can improve triglyceride levels in a way that is safe and does not require medication. This is a single-center, prospective, unblinded, randomized-controlled dietary intervention study to assess the impact of an omega-3 fatty acid diet compared to a standard lifestyle intervention on serum triglyceride in patients with hypertriglyceridemia. The study consists of an 8-week dietary treatment period followed by an 8-week observation period.
Hypertriglyceridemia is a serious condition in the Mexican population and it is considered a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Current efforts to prevent dyslipidemia and lipids alteration include the development of functional products as an alternative for the management of hypertriglyceridemia. Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are a recognized good source of bioactive compounds, mainly phenolic compounds, total dietary fiber (insoluble and soluble fiber, resistant starch and oligosaccharides), saponins, and phytosterols that exert hypolipidemic effects. In this sense, the development of beans-based food products is an alternative for improving the general health status. In previous work, a beans-oats snack bar formulation was found to be a promising potential functional product. In order to validate those results, the aim of this works was to assess a clinical trial was conducted with Mexican women to assess the effect of daily consumption of the functional product on serum triglycerides and certain plasma proteins involved in lipids metabolism in a clinical trial. The clinical trial was 2 months, randomized parallel study where 32 women with elevated triglycerides were randomized into the treatment group and control group. The Control group received nutritional orientation whereas the treatment group received the orientation and consumed 50 g of the product per day. Fasting blood samples were collected at baseline and the end of the study, obtaining serum and plasma for analysis of lipids profile, glucose, and biomarkers. To determine changes in plasma proteins, a 182 protein Human Obesity Antibody Array was used, and the results were analyzed using a bioinformatic-based analysis from Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (QIAGEN)
