Physiological Study of Human Cholesterol Metabolism and Excretion
Coronary Heart DiseaseCardiovascular Disease2 moreThe underlying hypothesis is that whole body cholesterol - including cholesterol present in tissues that cannot be measured by standard blood tests - is related to heart disease risk. Endogenous cholesterol will be labeled with an intravenous infusion of one type of cholesterol tracer and dietary cholesterol will be labeled with another. These tracers will be used to measure how fast cholesterol is synthesized and excreted using mass spectrometry to distinguish the tracers. Data will be related to circulating biomarkers (blood tests) and to the thickness of the lining of the carotid artery. The effect of the drug ezetimibe on these processes will also be determined. Successful completion of this study will give us more knowledge about cholesterol metabolism that may be useful in designing new drugs and treatments for patients with heart disease, especially those that are already receiving maximum amounts of current medications.
CholGate - The Effect of Alerting Versus on Demand Computer Based Decision Support on Treatment...
Decision Support SystemsClinicalIndirect evidence show alerting physicians with clinical decision support systems (CDSS) seem to change behaviour more than requiring users to actively initiate the system. However, randomized trials comparing these methods in a clinical setting are lacking. In this study we compare the effect of Alerting physicians with a CDSS or actively requiring initiation of CDSS on the adherence of Dutch general practitioners to the Cholesterol guideline of the Dutch college of General Practitioners.
Evaluation of ARI-3037MO, to Suppress LDL Cholesterol in Patients With Dyslipidemia
HyperlipidemiaThe objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ARI-3037MO compared to placebo in reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in subjects with dyslipidemia.
The Efficacy and Safety of Combined Therapy With Red Yeast Rice and Low-dose Statin:Comparing With...
DyslipidemiaAtherosclerosisDouble-dose statin regimen achieves merely 6% of decrease in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, whereas the risk of side effects increased largely. The investigators' previous pilot study (NCT01686451) has suggested that red yeast rice was of similar lipid-lowering efficacy while was associated with less fatigue than statins. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined therapy with red yeast rice and low-dose atorvastatin in persons with mild atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and who qualified for statin therapy according to national guidelines.
Vitamin D Supplementation for Treatment of Dyslipidemia
DyslipidemiasThis study will be conducted to Assess possible reduction in lipid profile (LDL-Triglecerides-cholesterol) among pre-menopausal women in vit D group compared to standard treatment group after 3 months & 6 month of follow up as prophylaxis step for atherosclerosis.
Capsaicin Effect on Cytokines Profile in Dyslipidemia
DyslipidemiaOverweight or ObesityThe increased mortality from cardiovascular disease has a significant impact on the population, and the prevalence of these diseases it become one of the major problems, since it is the leading cause of mortality and 1 in 3 Mexicans suffer from cardiovascular disease according ENSANUT; the above is attributed to the increase of diseases associated with an inflammatory process accelerated as obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension (SAH) and diabetes mellitus (DM). The cholesterol is a major risk factor in the development of cardiovascular disease, and in turn increases the chances of death; however, the treatment of choice is based on changes in lifestyle, which for most people are difficult to maintain long-term. As for the drug therapy treated with drugs many people do not achieve their therapeutic goals, and therefore the inflammatory condition that underlies this disease remains. Recent studies have focused on the possible role of capsaicin in the inflammatory state through the agonistic effect it has on TRPV1. It has demonstrated the antiinflammatory activity of capsaicin to enhance inflammation by free fatty acids (FFA) and reducing the expression of certain genes involved in this process induced. Capsaicin is a natural choice and well tolerated with few side effects limited to the gastrointestinal tract such as dyspepsia and intestinal irregularity, for the above is of interest to evaluate the effect of capsaicin on the profile of inflammatory cytokines in individuals with dyslipidemia.
