Filter by:Legumes are generally recognized as healthy dietary components, and although beans and legumes are recommended in food guidelines in North America, guidelines vary in regards to how much and how often these foods should be consumed. Furthermore, although North American and European guidelines recommend dietary pulses for glycemic control, dietary pulses and other legumes are not specifically suggested for controlling blood pressure and maintaining heart health. To improve evidence-based guidance for legume recommendations, the investigators propose to conduct a systematic review of clinical studies to assess the effect of eating legumes in exchange for other foods on blood pressure in humans. The systematic review process allows the combining of the results from many small studies in order to arrive at a pooled estimate, similar to a weighted average, of the true effect. The investigators will be able to explore whether eating legumes has different effects in different demographics, and whether or not the effect of legumes depends on how much/often they are eaten. The findings of this proposed knowledge synthesis will help improve the health of Canadians through informing recommendations for the general public, as well as those at risk of heart disease and diabetes.
Randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, multicenter phase 3 trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of YH14755 in subjects with dyslipidemia and Type II Diabetes.
OBJECTIVES Main objective: To assess if six months of treatment with CPAP, associated with conventional treatment, improves the lipid profile of patients with dyslipidemia and mild-moderate apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSA). Secondary objectives: - Determine the additional effect of CPAP on insulin resistance and dyslipidemia in patients with mild-moderate OSA. - Assess the impact of CPAP treatment in reducing cardiovascular risk in patients with dyslipidemia and mild-moderate OSA. DESIGN Randomized, parallel group, non-blind, controlled clinical trial with conventional treatment. STUDY POPULATION 35-75 year old subjects, diagnosed with dyslipidemia in last six months and in stable treatment during the last month with diet, cholesterol lowering drug, and cholesterol LDL levels> 100 mg / dl in the last two successive visits clinics. Sample size. 38 patients who completed the test in each treatment arm. TREATMENT Patients will be randomized to one of the following treatment arms form: 1. hygiene and dietary recommendations. 2. lifestyle intervention (more strict and promotion of daily physical activity and dietary control). 3. Treatment with positive airway pressure (CPAP). ENDPOINTS: Efficacy endpoints. - Primary endpoint: LDL-cholesterol. - Total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides and C-reactive protein high sensitivity (hsCRP). - Systemic Biomarkers: inflammatory (IL-6, IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α), oxidative stress (8-isoprostane), endothelial damage (endothelin, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) and Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1 (ICAM-1)), sympathetic activity (neuropeptide Y) and appetite-regulating hormones (leptin, orexin A / hypocretin-1 and ghrelin). - Fasting glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting insulin and Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA) index and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). - Clinical questionnaires: short-form (SF)-12, EuroQoL, Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ) and International physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ). Security endpoints. - Notification of clinical adverse events. - Compliance with CPAP (average hours use per day). - Epworth Sleepiness Questionnaire. - Development of cardiovascular events.
Dyslipidemia, is a cardiovascular risk factor of great importance whose prevalence has increased over the last decade. Part of the components of metabolic syndrome and consensus so far contemplated to increased triglycerides (TG) and reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) as part of the elements for classification, which includes mixed dyslipidemia. Currently, fibrates, such as bezafibrate, are drugs used in treating hypertriglyceridemia, besides reducing the risk of coronary disease. However, although this treatment is safe, it is not without risks; with increased prevalence of adverse effects as the dose thereof is increased or joins combination with a statin drug for the treatment of mixed dyslipidemia long term. Among the alternative therapies is berberine, which to reduce cholesterol and triglycerides may be useful in combination with bezafibrate in the treatment of mixed dyslipidemia and as an option with lower cost and lower frequency of adverse events.
This is a randomized, double-blind, single-center, two-arm, placebo-controlled clinical trial that examine the effect of the consumption of a plant sterols-enriched low-fat milk. Half of the participants will consume of 1.5g of plant sterols daily as provided by two servings of the plant sterols-enriched low-fat milk product for 3 consecutive weeks, while the other half will consume placebo low-fat milk.
Cross-sectional observational study designed to identify and describe the care gap in guideline-oriented low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) management in Canadian patients at high cardiovascular risk.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ARI-3037MO compared to placebo in reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in subjects with dyslipidemia.
The purpose of this study is to see if a high-protein meal leads to a better postprandial (after a meal) blood lipid profile compared to a high-monounsaturated meal.
B-HIVE is a Phase 3, double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, parallel group study, designed to compare the efficacy and safety of bococizumab 150 mg subcutaneously every 2 weeks to bococizumab placebo subcutaneously every 2 weeks for LDL-C lowering in HIV-infected subjects.
The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics of capsule and tablet formulations of TA-8995 in healthy male subjects aged 18 to 55 years.
