Active clinical trials for "Dyslipidemias"

Genetic factors contribute to risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as blood lipids, blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and may also influence dietary choices, physical activity, and responses to stress. The most robust genetic variant associated with myocardial infarction (MI) is the 9p21 variant, which may raise the risk of MI by up to 40% in those who carry 2 copies of the gene. The investigators recently found that among those who carry the 9p21 variant, the risk of MI may be "turned off" if individuals eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables. The investigators seek to determine how a "prudent" or "anti-inflammatory" diet interacts with the 9p21 risk allele to alter the risk of MI.

Prediabetes, defined by either impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance, is a known high-risk condition predisposing to future diabetes mellitus type 2. Strategies to prevent progression from prediabetes to diabetes have been widely studied, however, without striking long-term effects of any kind of intervention (pharmacological, behavioral...). The investigators therefore investigate certain nutritional approaches concerning nutrient content and favorable food components, targeting metabolic improvement.

In this study the investigators wish to compare Very Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) kinetics in type 2 diabetic males and healthy males postabsorptive and during hyperinsulinemia. The kinetics is obtained using an ex-vivo VLDL1- and VLDL2-triglyceride labeling technique. The investigators hypothesis is that the investigators will find an increased VLDL1 production in type 2 diabetic males, which is not lowered by hyperinsulinemia. Also the investigators wish to investigate the influence of diet on VLDL1 and VLDL2 production in healthy males, where the investigators expect less variance in VLDL production when the subject is given an isocaloric diet.

Evaluation of the impact of initiation of protease inhibitor/ritonavir on PCSK9 levels in HIV-infected antiretroviral-naïve patients from the ANRS C09 COPANA cohort.

Obesity is associated with low testosterone in men and with dyslipidemia. Adropin hormone is negatively correlated with body mass index and is associated with dyslipidemia. correlation between adropin and testosterone will be evaluated.

Retrospective, analytical, longitudinal, multicenter study to evaluate the safety of the fixed-dose combination of rosuvastatin / ezetimibe as treatment for patients with dyslipidemia in routine medical practice.

A retrospective review of body composition outcomes of participants of a comprehensive visceral-fat focused anti-obesity program. Data from approximately 2000-2500 participants are expected to be included in the study.

Traditional risk factors for cardiovascular diseases have been shown to have an even higher impact in the HIV infected population. The original study from 2014 was a cross sectional study into the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (namely, dyslipidaemia and diabetes mellitus) in people living with HIV (PLWHIV) in Austria. The aim of this follow up study is to see the progression of our study sample and to see what prevalence levels may be found after 7 years. This epidemiological evaluation is conceptualized to document real life major cardiovascular risk factors of HIV-infected patients, focusing on lipid profiles and diabetes mellitus risk and to compare with the baseline values from the original study.

This study is being done to see whether dietary and medicinal measures compliant with hyperlipidemia treatment guidelines will result in achieving target lipid values and to evaluate the total risk of cardiovascular disease in study participants who have not reached satisfactory lipid levels with their current hypolipemic therapy.

This Phase 1 study has been designed to evaluate the absolute bioavailability of PF-04950615 (RN316) in subjects with hypercholesterolemia who are not currently on lipid-lowering therapy.
