Filter by:There is now considerable scientific evidence that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables could improve human health. Apples are among the most frequently consumed fruits in the world. Epidemiological studies have linked frequent apple consumption with several health benefits including a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Apples are an important source of polyphenols and fiber and their beneficial effects could be attributed to this content; however, their impact on our health is not clear. Although, there are some studies that have reported cholesterol lowering effects the results are inconsistent. Furthermore, few studies have explored the impact on vascular function and gut microbiota. The objective of the current study is to assess whether a regular apple consumption, reduces total cholesterol levels, improves vascular function and gut microbiota profile in mildly hypercholesterolemic subjects compared with a control, sugar matched commercial clear apple juice squash.
This study is designed to measure the effects of LGT209 when given intravenously to patients with high cholesterol who are on stable doses of statin medications, and to healthy subjects with elevated cholesterol
This is a multicenter, randomized study in subjects with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia receiving highly effective statins to assess the safety, efficacy and tolerability of Bococizumab (PF-04950615; RN316) to lower LDL-C.
The purpose of this actual use study is to simulate the over the counter use of atorvastatin calcium 10 mg.
Primary Objective: To assess the effects of subcutaneous (SC) doses of alirocumab on the elimination (measured by Fractional Clearance Rate (FCR)) of apolipoprotein B (apoB) in low density lipoprotein (LDL) in adults with mildly elevated LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C). Secondary Objectives: To assess the effects of SC doses of alirocumab on: - Various parameters of the metabolism and turnover in plasma of different lipoproteins - Plasma lipids concentration: total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apoB, lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) - Lipoprotein particle size profile - PCSK9 (free and total) concentrations in serum To assess safety and tolerability of alirocumab. To assess emergence of anti-alirocumab antibodies. To document serum alirocumab concentrations.
Primary Objective: To assess the long-term safety of alirocumab (SAR236553/REGN727) when added to lipid-lowering therapy in participants with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (heFH) who had completed EFC12492 (NCT01623115), R727-CL-1112 (NCT01709500), EFC12732 (NCT01617655) and LTS11717 (NCT01507831). Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the long-term efficacy of alirocumab on lipid parameters. - To evaluate the long-term immunogenicity of alirocumab.
The purpose of this research study is to see how ETC-1002 is tolerated in the body, to measure the amount of ETC-1002 in the blood, and to determine how ETC-1002 affects the level of LDL-cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and other markers of health and disease in blood and urine in patients with elevated LDL-cholesterol with or without statin intolerance.
To compare the effect of rosuvastatin to protease inhibitor switching on fasting total cholesterol over 12 weeks.
To determine the effect of synchronizing a patient's prescription refill schedule on medication adherence. The targeted population is Humana members who are currently taking 2 or more Stars medications (hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes) and are current customers of RightSource. Participants will be randomized to one of two groups. Group one will be usual care and group two will be the Rx synchronization group.
The purpose of the study is to determine if the study drug (alirocumab)administered every 4 weeks, given by injection under the skin is effective and safe compared with placebo in lowering cholesterol, if used alone or added to the participants' current cholesterol-lowering medication.
