Filter by:For the management of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), some guidelines recommend initial statin treatment with high-intensity statins to achieve at least a 50% reduction in LDL-C levels. High-intensity or maximally tolerated intensity can be maintained without a target goal. However, the European guideline recommends less than 55 mg/dL of LDL-C after PCI.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the effects of chromium serum levels on glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, morbidity and mortality rates in critically ill intensive care patients. The investigators' goal is to provide a different perspective on solving the common problems of hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia encountered in intensive care patients, aiming to reduce morbidity and mortality rates. Participants will give a single blood sample (into trace element serum tube) on the day of admission to the intensive care unit, along with routine blood tests, and samples will be taken once a week during their stay in the intensive care unit.
The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the use of a commercially available standardized combination preparation (Cholesfytol NG®), containing extracts of amla, walnut leaf, red yeast rice and olive, in individuals with hypercholesterolemia 1. Leads to a clinically relevant reduction of cholesterol levels, especially LDL, 2. Leads to a clinically relevant reduction of blood pressure on the short term, 3. Leads to a change in oxidative stress biomarkers. Participants will be stratified by sex before randomization to one of the two treatments for 8 weeks: - Cholesfytol NG: 500 mg Amla dry extract, 50 mg Walnut leaf dry extract, 33.6 mg Red yeast rice powder (equivalent to 1.45 mg monacolins), 25 mg Olive dry extract (equivalent to 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol) per day - Placebo All treatments have an identical shape and color and should be used in the same way (oral intake; 3 capsules/day during dinner). No dietary instructions are given and participants are asked not to change their dietary habits, not to start other therapies (medication, supplements, slimming diets, extra physical activity, etc.) during their study period. Standardized questionnaires are used to obtain information on demographics, dietary habits and side effects. At baseline and after 8 weeks, 27 ml blood is drawn for various biological analyses, and blood pressure, BMI and waist circumference are measured.
This placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, Phase 3 study is being conducted in adult participants with high-risk atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) who are not adequately controlled by their maximally tolerated lipid-modifying therapy, to assess the impact of the obicetrapib 10 mg + ezetimibe 10 mg FDC daily on coronary plaque and inflammation characteristics, evaluated using cardiovascular computed tomography angiography (CCTA).
The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence of elevated Lp(a) in the working general population.
In the past 30 years, the blood lipid level of the Chinese population has gradually increased, and the prevalence of dyslipidemia patients has increased significantly. Hyperlipidemia is a disease caused by abnormal blood lipid levels, also known as abnormal lipid metabolism. Common clinical indicators include total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein ( HDL).The number of patients with abnormal blood lipid levels in China accounts for as high as 40% of the total. It is estimated that between 2010 and 2030,cardiovascular disease events will increase by 9.2 million, which seriously endangers human health and becomes a high risk factor for various cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis. One of the pathological foundations of atherosclerosis is that abnormal lipid levels in the body cause a large amount of lipid to be deposited in the arterial endothelial matrix, which is phagocytosed by smooth muscle and macrophages to form foam cells. Hydrogen, the lightest and smallest molecular gas in the atmosphere, is considered a novel antioxidant that reduces oxidative stress. Accumulating evidence from various biomedical fields in clinical studies and experimental models of many diseases suggests that hydrogen inhalation or drinking hydrogen-containing solutions can be used as a therapeutic strategy. Due to the special physical properties of hydrogen gas that is easy to diffuse, hydrogen molecules can penetrate cell membranes to reach organelles and cell nuclei. Hydrogen's moderate reducing properties make it effective in reducing cytotoxicity, protecting nuclear DNA and mitochondria, and reducing the risk of lifestyle-related diseases and cancer. In addition, hydrogen intake can reduce oxidative stress, improve cellular function, and reduce chronic inflammation, which are associated with the pathology and etiology of hyperlipidemia and other related diseases. Molecular hydrogen can regulate important metabolic functions such as signal transduction, protein phosphorylation, miRNA expression, and autophagy. Studies have shown that intake of hydrogen water in APOE knockout mice can reduce serum total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein levels and prevent the progression of atherosclerosis. A study by Song et al. in 2013 included 20 subjects who drank 0.9 to 1 L of hydrogen-rich water per day for 10 weeks, and the subjects' LDL-C levels decreased significantly before and after treatment. Another study showed that subjects with underlying lipid metabolism abnormalities were treated with high-concentration hydrogen water (5.5mmol/d) for up to 24 weeks, and serum total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein levels were significantly reduced. Protein function and redox status (eg, increased serum superoxide dismutase and decreased malondialdehyde) were improved, markers of inflammation (eg, serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha) decreased and fasting blood glucose decreased. At present, the research on the treatment of hyperlipidemia with hydrogen water is very limited. The portable hydrogen water hydrogen machine used in this study has passed the registration test of the Guangdong Provincial Medical Device Quality Supervision and Inspection Institute. In order to evaluate the use of the portable hydrogen water hydrogen machine for hyperlipidemia The efficacy and safety of adjuvant therapy in patients, this clinical trial is specially carried out.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of a high-intensity Mediterranean diet intervention over 16 weeks in a group of patients with mild to moderate psoriasis in terms of skin improvement as measured by PASI. In addition, the aim of this study will be to gather the necessary information for a larger and more extended clinical trial in the future. Participants will be provided with dietary education for the implementation of the Mediterranean diet, supported by a monthly follow-up by nutritionists with experience in the field. Researchers will compare the effect of the Mediterranean diet on these patients to a control group provided with standard recommendations for a low-fat diet with no monitoring by nutritionists.
A combination of generally regarded as safe (GRAS) compounds named GLY-LOW, which included: alpha lipoic acid, pyridoxamine, nicotinamide, piperine and thiamine, were examined in pre-clinical experiments. GLY-LOW supplementation reduced caloric intake and increased insulin sensitivity in mice. In female mice, GLY-LOW supplementation reversed aging-related declines in female hormones. Studies in humans are needed to examine the feasibility, utility and efficacy of GLY-LOW supplementation in post-menopausal women with obesity toward improving aging-related impairments. The effect of GLY-LOW supplementation on these obesity and biological age-related impairments in post-menopausal adult female humans with obesity is unknown. We aim to translate the findings of GLY-LOW supplementation in animals to a cohort of healthy, postmenopausal females at birth with obesity by conducting a one-group, no-placebo comparer, pre post intervention clinical trial. Additionally, we propose to examine the specific effect of supplementation by GLY-LOW on biological aging via retina scan. The objectives of the proposed pilot study are: I. Conduct a 6-month pilot study to examine the feasibility, utility and efficacy of GLY-LOW supplementation in a total of 40 postmenopausal female born adults > 55 years with obesity (> 30 BMI) Ia. Examine alterations in self-reported caloric intake and the following health and biological aging, parameters prior to and after 6 months of GLY-LOW supplementation: 1. Self-reported Caloric Intake 2. Metabolic disease risk 3. Cardiovascular disease risk 4. Metabolic assessments 5. Hormones 6. Physical Function and Fitness 7. Muscular strength 8. Cognitive Function and Depression assessments 9. Systemic inflammation 10. Biological aging 11. Safety parameters (also every 2 months during the intervention; ECG at baseline and 2 months only) 12, Compliance measures (pill counts and interviews every 2 months during the intervention)
