Active clinical trials for "Hypercholesterolemia"

The purpose of the study is to determine whether an Internet based compliance tool is superior to common diet counselling in patients with hypercholesterolemia.

The main aim of the study is to investigate the effect of daily consumption of a margarine enriched with plant sterol esters and fish oil on fasting triglycerides (TG) concentrations. The study also aims to investigate the effect of plant sterols and fish oil on fasting total cholesterol (TC), Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and non-HDL-C. At last, the effect of plant sterols and fish oil on fasting apolipoprotein concentrations will be explored.

Primary objective is to assess strawberry intake on LDL cholesterol and its association with atherosclerosis development.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of gemcabene on the pharmacokinetics of simvastatin 80 mg.

The barriers faced by people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) begin in their mid to late 20s and often mirror the experiences of older adults (50+) living in the U.S. While evidence for successful population-specific health promotion programs and training, such as the 12-Week HealthMatters Program has been documented, an urgent need exists for continuous, readily available, on-demand training in these programs. Online training can substantially aid the widespread translation of evidence-based programs into practice and policy. This proposal seeks to test the effectiveness of an enhanced mode of translating the HealthMatters program into practice through the use of an on-demand e-Learning platform (HealthMatters@24/7) for staff in community based organizations (CBOs) in one state; thereby advancing the science of translational research. HO1. More CBOs in the asynchronous training program will have developed Strategic Action Plans for Health and Wellness, established Wellness Committees, and have equal or more resources and improved culture for health promotion at 1 year compared to CBOs participating in the current live HealthMatters TtT Workshop webinar. HO2. Staff in the asynchronous training group will have improved levels of learner/instructor satisfaction (job productivity, job performance, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, convenience) toward the training immediately after completing the enhanced mode of training, HM@24/7 compared to staff trained using the current live HealthMatters TtT Workshop webinar.

This clinical study will explore individual factors influencing statin pharmacokinetics in a cohort of 150 patients treated with atorvastatin.

Healthy and at risk (hypercholesterolemic) subjects consumed during 4 weeks 45 g/d of either olive pomace oil (OPO) or high oleic acid sunflower oil (HOSO) as the only dietary fat in a randomized, crossover trial. The effects on blood lipids, glucose homeostasis, endothelial function, inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress biomarkers and anthropometry were measured.

The aim of this feasibility study was to assess the lipid-lowering effects and safety of a Ayurveda formulation containing Terminalia Arjuna, Withania Sominifera, Garcinia Cambogia and piperine (as bioenhancer)

The purpose of this study is to investigate the cholesterol lowering effect of a drinkable low fat fermented milk enriched with plant sterol after 3 and 6 weeks in mildly hypercholesterolemic subjects treated or not by statins.

This study is being done to look at age differences in the way the investigators bodies break down a compound found in flax seed (secoisolariciresinol diglucoside or SDG). It is administered to research subjects in a product called BeneFlax, which a concentrated version of flax seed containing 38% SDG. It is known that as people age, their bodies undergo physical changes both on the outside and the inside. The aging process may change the way that the investigators bodies deal with compounds the investigators eat. As an important measure of safety, the investigators want to check for evidence whether there is a difference in break down of SDG between different age groups.
