To evaluate the safety and efficacy of CJ-30060 compared with amlodipine/valsartan combination therapy and valsartan/rosuvastatin combination therapy in hypertensive patients with hyperlipidemia
Obesity is characterized by an underlying inflammatory state in which various inflammatory signaling molecules, termed cytokines, affect metabolic processes central to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease; leading causes of disability and death in Ontario. Such obesity-associated inflammation is partly due to the movement of endotoxin (i.e. lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a cell wall component of Gram-negative bacteria) from the gut microbiota to the blood, resulting in elevated blood levels of LPS (a condition termed metabolic endotoxemia) that stimulates inflammation. Digestion of a high-fat meal increases blood LPS and is subsequently associated with inflammation and metabolic impairments. However, in this context, little is known about how the consumption of bioactive-rich foods, such as whole apples, can improve impaired inflammatory and metabolic responses in overweight and obese individuals. Apples are a key commodity to study given that they are Ontario's predominant fruit crop with the apple industry valued at approximately $400 million, they require little food preparation, and they are common in the diet year-round. There are some, but limited, reports of potential apple-induced health benefits related to reductions in inflammation and improved metabolic responses in lean/healthy individuals, but work in overweight and obese individuals is especially lacking. Thus, to address the gap in our understanding of how daily apple intake may improve the health consequences of obesity, we will conduct a randomized clinical trial in which overweight and obese adults will consume three Ontario-grown Gala apples (approximately 300 g) as part of their typical diet in one sitting (i.e. acute consumption) and/or daily for six weeks (i.e. chronic consumption). The Acute Apple Consumption phase of the study will follow a randomized crossover design in which participants' rate of gastric emptying, efficacy of dietary lipid digestion and absorption, and production of inflammatory cytokines and biomarkers of metabolism will be assessed before and after consuming a high-fat meal (designed to provide 1 g fat/kg body weight) with or without three apples in one sitting. The Chronic Apple Consumption phase of the study will follow a randomized, controlled, parallel-arm design in which participants' (fasting) production of inflammatory cytokines and biomarkers of metabolism, as well as their gut microbiota profile, will be assessed before and after consuming three apples (or no apples) daily for six weeks. We hypothesize that the consumption of three whole apples in one sitting and daily for six weeks will improve these parameters in overweight and obese individuals at risk of developing chronic metabolic diseases.
During dietary fat absorption, the gut packages the majority of the fats into lipid particles that are secreted into blood circulation. The gut is also capable of storing a considerable amount of fats that can be released at a later time upon receiving certain stimulus signals. One of the signals is glucose ingestion. This protocol examines how glucose ingestion releases gut lipid store. Participants drink a fatty formula and 5-9 hours later drink either a glucose solution or water (as control). One hour later, duodenal biopsy specimen are taken for analysis of lipid stores in the gut cells.
study to evaluate drug-drug interaction following oral administration of telmisartan/amlodipine and atorvastatin in healthy adult volunteers

The gut is also capable of storing a considerable amount of fats that can be released at a later time upon receiving certain stimulus signals. One of the signals is glucose ingestion. This protocol examines blood lipid responses to a glucose drink. Participants drink a fatty formula and 5 hours later drink either a glucose solution or water (as control), in one of two randomized study visits. Blood lipid levels are monitored throughout the study period.
To investigate the therapeutic effect of ezetimibe on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, the effect of rosuvastatin 5mg monotherapy and rosuvastatin 5mg / ezetimibe 10mg combination therapy n patients with hyperlipidemia and fatty liver will be compared and analyzed. This study included a total of 70 patients (35 per subgroup) for randomized controlled trials with prospective, open label, randomized, single-institution clinical trials. The drug will be maintained for a total of six months. The primary endpoint is the difference of liver fat change measured by MRI-PDFF in colocalized regions of interest within nine liver segments between two groups.
It is well known that medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) and diacylglycerols (DGs) have effects on lowering circulating triglycerides (TGs). In this study, the mixture of MCTs and DGs (MCDGs) examined whether it has beneficial effects on postprandial lipids metabolism compared to long-chain triglycerides (TGs).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether psyllium is effective in reducing flushing due to niacin and also to measure the effect of niacin on cholesterol levels.
This is a single center, open-label study to evaluate the efficacy of AKCEA-ANGPTL3-LRx for reduction of triglyceride (TG) levels in participants with FCS.
