Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to test the effect and safety of three different doses of ABT-143 compared to simvastatin in subjects with elevated levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol ("bad cholesterol") and triglycerides.
The purpose of this small, short pilot study is to determine the feasibility (e.g., recruitment, dose acceptance, retention) of a future longer trial comparing the effects of two types of omega-3 fats from fish oil on plasma triglycerides. The two types of fish oil are composed of (1) omega-3 fatty acids in triglyceride form; and (2) as esterified free fatty acids (i.e. ethyl esters). Although these two types of fish oil supplements are available to the public, it remains unclear whether they are equally effective in lowering plasma triglycerides.
Fenofibrate increases adiponectin levels, but reduces leptin levels
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of supplementing diets of hyperlipidemic men with DHA (docosahexenoic acid) on risk factors for cardiovascular disease. We hypothesize that supplementing diets of hyperlipidemic men with DHA will decrease the plasma concentrations of CRP (C-reactive protein), inflammatory cytokines, and soluble adhesion molecules. We further hypothesize that DHA supplementation will decrease serum triglyceride concentrations and increase HDL concentration.
Hypertriglyceridemia affects 30% of the population in the US. Very high level of triglycerides is a known risk factor for pancreatitis. In addition, studies have shown that hypertriglyceridemia is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Diazoxide is a KATP channel opener. It has been approved by the FDA as an oral suspension for the treatment of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemic conditions and as an IV solution for malignant hypertension. Preclinical and clinical studies suggest that diazoxide can be a potential therapeutic agent for hypertriglyceridemia. Diazoxide choline is a novel, highly crystalline proprietary salt of diazoxide, which has been formulated as a controlled-release tablet suitable for once per day dosing. This current study is designed to assess the effect of diazoxide choline on triglycerides in subjects with baseline hypertriglyceridemia. In addition, the effects on other lipid parameters, glucose and insulin, body weight as well as the safety and tolerability of diazoxide choline will be assessed.
This is a single-center, randomized, open-label, multi-dose crossover study assessing the pharmacokinetic profiles of diazoxide choline coated versus uncoated formulations in healthy volunteers. The primary objective is to compare the pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of diazoxide choline controlled-release coated tablets versus uncoated tablets in healthy volunteers under fed conditions. Secondary objectives are to assess diazoxide choline pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters under fasted conditions, and to assess the safety and tolerability of diazoxide choline controlled-release coated tablets versus uncoated tablets in healthy volunteers.
This is an open-label study to provide metreleptin for the treatment of diabetes mellitus and/or hypertriglyceridemia associated with lipodystrophy. This study intends to provide guidance to investigators with respect to identification of appropriate subjects for metreleptin treatment, guidance on metreleptin dosing, and collection of safety and efficacy data following metreleptin treatment in this population
The study was performed to investigate the effects of n-3 LC-PUFA supplemented dairy products cardiovascular risk factors in hypertriglyceridemic patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether atorvastatin and fenofibrate are effective in the treatment of lipid disorders in obese, insulin resistant subjects.
The study examines the effect of two diets on fasting and post fat load lipoproteins of subjects with type 2 diabetes with moderate hypertriglyceridemia.
