Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine to what degree Hypocol® (Red Yeast Rice) may lower low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol in a European population. The effect of Red Yeast Rice on fasting blood glucose and inflammatory markers will also be investigated.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the anti-HIV drug tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) on lipid levels in HIV infected adults on stable anti-HIV drug therapy. Study hypothesis: The addition of TDF to stable background antiretroviral therapy in HIV infected individuals with dyslipidemia will result in a reduction of non-HDL after 12 weeks of treatment.
The primary purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness and tolerability of Niaspan® to improve the levels of blood fats ("good" and "bad" cholesterol and triglyceride levels) in people who have kidney damage due to diabetes.

This study is designed to address the hypothesis that in obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), a low carbohydrate diet not specifically restricted in calories compared to low fat, caloric restricted diet over 24 months will cause 5% greater reduction in body weight in patients with obesity and type 2 DM, be safe, and will not have any detrimental effects on serum lipid concentrations.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether exercise has further beneficial effects on improving cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, high cholesterol level or diabetes mellitus, when added to the standard program of health check followed by life style recommendations.
The purpose of this study is to assess the cholesterol lowering effects of an investigational drug in patients with mixed hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol and high triglycerides).
The purpose of this study is to assess the cholesterol lowering safety and effectiveness of two investigational drugs in patients with mixed hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol and high triglycerides).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cholesterol lowering effectiveness and safety of two investigational drugs in patients with mixed hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol and high triglycerides).
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of fish oil and the antioxidant alpha lipoic acid on factors in the blood that are associated with the progression of Alzheimer's Disease (AD).
This study is designed to study how adults with Type 2 Diabetes and either high blood pressure and/or high blood cholesterol manage their treatment regimen.

They may also be on other treatment such as insulin, diet and/or exercise programs. Individuals will be followed for approximately 12 months. About 1/4 of the persons in the study will receive a telephone counseling program with a nurse focused upon their management of their treatment program.
