Active clinical trials for "Hyperlipidemias"

Aims: Nondiabetic patients have been studied to determine whether modest elevations in plasma mannose levels may be associated with a greater incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: The plasma mannose, lipids (triglyceride, LDL, HDL, LDL, VLDL) and LDH levels were successfully will be evaluated with respect to subsequent coronary artery disease using records 120 nondiabetic patients and 120 healthy volunteers. CAD was identified from myocardial infarction and new diagnoses of angina. The associations between mannose levels and serum lipid parameters will be investigated.

Some of the fat (triglyceride) from the food humans eat gets stored in the bowel. This triglyceride can then be released into the blood when another meal is consumed or in response to hormones. How the gut hormone glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) releases the triglyceride from the gut is not known. The research team in this study is interested in finding out how teduglutide (a degradation resistant form of GLP-2) releases stored triglyceride from the gut by evaluating how blood lipoproteins respond to teduglutide in healthy individuals.

A controlled clinical intervention study is proposed to determine the effect of black garlic consumption on biomarkers of cardiovascular function and associated pathologies in a healthy population at risk for cardiovascular disease. Black garlic is the result of a fermentation process of common white garlic in which the temperature and humidity are kept constant over a long period of time. Black garlic is particularly rich in phenolic compounds such as S-allylcysteine or S-allyl-mercaptocysteine, with antioxidant action. It also provides vitamin C and other valuable antioxidant substances such as flavonoids.

The investigators wanted to study the postprandial lipemia after six oral fat tolerance test with varying amounts of saturated fat in young healthy subjects.

The purpose of this study is to compare pharmacokinetics between Pitavastatin and Valsartan co-administration and Livalo fixed combination drug in healthy male subjects.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of long-term use of granular capsule formulation of omega-3 fatty acid ethyl esters (Lotriga Granular Capsules) in patients with hyperlipidemia in daily medical practice

The purpose of this study is to compare pharmacokinetics between Pitavastatin and Valsartan co-administration and Livalo fixed combination drug in healthy male subjects.

Recent studies in both animals and humans has demonstrated that the hormone GLP-1 (glucagon like peptide 1) reduces intestinal production of lipoprotein particles. The investigators therefore hypothesise that the drug sitagliptin which prevents the breakdown of GLP-1 will reduce intestinal lipoprotein production in humans. The investigators are unable to speculate whether sitagliptin will affect hepatic lipoprotein production because of lack of of data from animal studies or in vitro data. Sitagliptin is already an approved treatment for type 2 diabetes.

The role of hyperlipidemia and lipid lowering therapy (LLT) in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) pathophysiology and its impact on disease progression and survival is unclear. The investigators analyzed the correlation between lipid levels with disease progression and survival in ALS patients and the association of LLT with these outcomes.

The study is planned to show whether monotherapies or combined hypolipemic therapy influence the fasting plasma glucose, serum adipokines (leptin, adiponectin, resistin) and proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-6, TNF alpha) during 30 and 90 day course.
