Filter by:The purpose of this study is to to determine the effect of habituation to diets with different types of dietary fat (stearic, palmitic and oleic) on selected Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) risk indicators with an emphasis on inflammation.
The main objectives of this study are to test the hypotheses that: 1) consumption of beverages sweetened with sucrose will increase risk factors for cardiovascular disease to a greater extent than a naturally-sweetened fruit juice such as orange juice, and 2) chronic psychological stress may augment the adverse metabolic effects of sugar intake. The study intervention consists of 2-week's consumption of 25% of energy as sugar provided either as a sucrose-sweetened beverage or naturally-sweetened orange juice.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the fix-dose combination therapy with Gemigliptin 50mg and Rosuvastatin 20mg with type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia
In kidney transplant patients atherosclerosis process is accelerated even in asymptomatic patients. This is mainly the consequence of immunosuppressive therapy. Dyslipidemia is treated with statins in low doses only as high doses can lead to rhabdomyolysis and are therefore contraindicated. As second lipid lowering agent most commonly ezetimibe is used. The investigators hypothesise that ezetimibe as a second lipid lowering drug in kidney transplant patients lowers LDL cholesterol for additional 10 per cent.
Much attention has been directed at the unhealthy effects of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), as an increase in their consumption has paralleled the rise obesity rates. In adults, SSBs have been shown to promote ectopic fat storage and raise plasma triglycerides compared to equivalent amounts of semi-skim (1.5%) milk, water, or diet beverages. Replacement of soda with milk had the added benefit of also reducing systolic blood pressure. While several studies have investigated the effects of SSBs on weight gain in children, no published studies have investigated their effects on lipid and lipoprotein risk factors under isocaloric conditions in metabolically at-risk adolescents, who are among the greatest consumers of SSBs. The main objective of this study is to test whether isocaloric replacement of soda with reduced fat milk will significantly improve atherogenic dyslipidemia, blood pressure, insulin sensitivity, and liver function in overweight and obese adolescents who are habitual soda consumers. The investigators will test this in a 8 week randomized two period crossover trial in 30 overweight and obese adolescent males who are self-reported habitual consumers of SSBs. Participants will consume energy equivalent amounts of SSB (24oz soda containing high fructose corn syrup per day), and reduced fat milk (2% milk fat) for 3 weeks each, in random order, separated by a 2-week washout. Anthropometrics, blood pressure, and blood samples will be collected at screen and at the end of each intervention period. Plasma measurements will include LDL peak particle diameter; lipoprotein subclass concentrations; triglycerides; total, LDL, and HDL-cholesterol; apolipoproteins; glucose, insulin, and insulin resistance; high sensitivity C-reactive protein; uric acid; and liver enzymes.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of K-877 on ECG parameters with a focus on cardiac repolarization compared with placebo in healthy adult subjects.
In this study, we studied lipoprotein abnormalities-related variables as risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease in patients on renal replacement therapies.We studied 96 dialyzed patients, 62 males and 34 females, on mean age 62.1 years old and 24 healthy controls.We concluded that metabolic acidosis activating the inflammation and lipoprotein oxidation influences the dyslipidemia and cardiovascular morbidity of patients on renal replacement therapies.Dialysis adequacy was positively associated to cardioprotective HDL.Peritoneal dialysis holds a better acidosis level and lower oxidized lipids than hemodialysis modalities.
Dyslipidemia contributes greatly to the formation and progression of atherosclerosis (AS), which plays a dominant role in leading to CHD. Xuezhikang is a partially purified extract of fermented red yeast rice (Monascus purpureus). It is composed of 13 kinds of natural statins, unsaturated fatty acids, ergosterol,amino acids, flavonoids, alkaloid, trace element, and so forth. Xuezhikang has been recommended in a guideline for China adult dyslipidemia prevention. This study aims to evaluate the benefit and side effect of Xuezhikang, a potential alternative drug of statins, for patients with dyslipidemia, and thus provide further evidence for clinical application.
The investigators aim to test the hypothesis that dietary supplementation with VASCAZEN will correct omega-3 deficiency in cardiac rehab patients and improve biochemical risk factors.
Probiotics have been proposed for the treatment of dyslipidemia. the investigators aimed to evaluate efficacy, tolerability and safety of a new symbiotic formulation containing a combination of probiotic and prebiotics and amine in the treatment of children affected by familial hypercholesterolemia (FH).
