Filter by:Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil and in krill oil. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of the recommended dose of a fish oil supplement (Omax3 4:1 EPA:DHA; recommended daily dose 1650 mg - totaling 1500 mg EPA+DHA) and a krill oil supplement (MegaRed; recommended daily dose 300 mg - totaling 74 mg EPA+DHA) on omega-3 index, plasma biomarkers of inflammation and inflammatory cell activation, and plasma lipid levels in subjects with metabolic syndrome.
Noninferiority trial to assess efficacy of fixed-dose combination of valsartan + rosuvastatin versus their isolated components in treatment of hypertension and dyslipidemia.
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of subcutaneous evolocumab (AMG 145) in combination with statin therapy (atorvastatin) on percent change from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in diabetic adults with hyperlipidemia or mixed dyslipidemia.
This study is a randomized, open-label, single oral dose, 2-way crossover clinical trial to compare safety and pharmacokinetics of CKD-337 in healthy male volunteers.
Hypercholesterolemia is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease, asociated primarily with high plasma levels of LDL lipoprotein, which in turn depend on the endogenous hepatic synthesis of cholesterol and its absorption at intestinal level. It has been demonstrated that there reducing plasma LDL is beneficial, mainly with the use of statins, which are the first treatment option for a moderate hypercholesterolemia. Phytosterols reduce the intestinal absorption of cholesterol by reducing its incorporation into lipid micelles. Consequently, phytosterols have become a relevant alternative treatment against low hypercholesterolemia. The target population are 40 to 65 years old individuals with low hypercholesterolemia.
Primary Objective: To demonstrate the superiority of alirocumab in comparison with usual care in the reduction of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) in participants with type 2 diabetes and mixed dyslipidemia at high cardiovascular risk with non-HDL-C not adequately controlled with maximally tolerated statin therapy. Secondary Objectives: - To demonstrate whether alirocumab is superior in comparison with usual care in its effects on other lipid parameters (ie, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein B (Apo B), total cholesterol (Total -C), lipoprotein a (Lp[a]), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TGs), triglyceride rich lipoproteins (TGRLs), apolipoprotein A-1 (Apo A-1), apolipoprotein C-III (Apo C-III), lipid subfractions by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (ie, LDL-C particle size and LDL, very low-density lipoprotein [VLDL], HDL, and intermediate-density lipoprotein [IDL] particle number). - To assess changes in glycemic parameters with alirocumab vs. usual care treatment. - To demonstrate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab. - To evaluate treatment acceptance of alirocumab. - To evaluate proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) concentrations and antibody development. - To demonstrate the superiority of alirocumab vs. fenofibrate on non-HDL-C and other lipid parameters (subgroup analysis).
Overweight and obesity have reached worldwide epidemic level. Both overweight and obesity are characterized by comorbidities such as cardio-metabolic risk factors (i.e., insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, low-grade inflammation) representing a major public health problem. Therefore, it is urgent to find a therapeutic solution to target all these metabolic disorders. Among the environmental factors able to influence the individual susceptibility to gain weight and to develop metabolic disorders associated with obesity, more and more evidence show that the trillions of bacteria housed in our gastro-intestinal tract (i.e, gut microbiota) influence host metabolism. The investigators recently discovered a putative interesting microbial candidate, namely Akkermansia muciniphila (Akk). More exactly, we found that the administration of Akkermansia muciniphila reduced body weight gain, fat mass gain, glycemia and inflammatory markers in diet-induced obese mice. Moreover, in overweight/obese patients with cardiovascular risk factors subjected to a calorie restriction diet (calorie restriction diet for 6 weeks and an additional 6 weeks of weight maintenance), a higher abundance of Akkermansia muciniphila was associated with a better cardio-metabolic status in these patients. The investigators also discovered that patients having more Akkermansia muciniphila in their gut before the calorie restriction exhibited a greater improvement in glucose homoeostasis, blood lipids and body composition after calorie restriction. These observations suggested that the administration of Akkermansia muciniphila in overweight or obese people could be a very interesting therapeutic solution. Currently, no human study has investigated the beneficial effects of Akkermansia muciniphila administration on obesity and metabolic disorders. The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the effects associated with the administration of live or heat-killed Akkermansia muciniphila on the metabolic disorders (insulin-resistance, type-2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, inflammation) related to overweight and obesity in humans.
The aim is to investigate the effects of yoghurt drinks containing two doses of plant stanol ester either with or without added camelina oil on the serum cholesterol levels in moderately hypercholesterolemic subjects
Study to assess the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics and safety/tolerability to CKD-519 new formulation in healthy male subjects.
Prediabetes, defined by either impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance, is a known high-risk condition predisposing to future diabetes mellitus type 2. Strategies to prevent progression from prediabetes to diabetes have been widely studied, however, without striking long-term effects of any kind of intervention (pharmacological, behavioral...). The investigators therefore investigate certain nutritional approaches concerning nutrient content and favorable food components, targeting metabolic improvement.
