Active clinical trials for "Hyperlipidemias"

To evaluate the primary preventive effect of low-dose pravastatin against coronary heart disease (CHD) in Japanese hypercholesterolemic patients.

Epidemiological and clinical evidence suggests that high-dose intake of long-chain n-3 fatty acids have a favorable role in altering blood TG and non-HDL cholesterol when combined with statins in hyperlipidemic patients. Their efficacy in altering low density lipoprotein cholesterol particle size and concentration is yet to be confirmed. This study evaluates the effects of adding 4/day eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) + docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to stable statin therapy on blood TG, non-HDL, LDL-C as well as small dense (sdLDL) particle concentration in a group of hyperlipidemic patients. In this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind parallel group study, 44 subjects who were already on statin therapy for > 8 weeks and had non-HDL-C levels above the National Lipid Association Recommendations were randomized into two groups. For 8 weeks, together with their prescribed atorvastatin, the intervention group received 4g/day EPA+DHA (in ethyl ester form) while the control group received 4g/day olive oil (placebo). Baseline measurements of non-HDL-C, TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, VLDL-C and sdLDL were repeated at week 8. Differences in dietary intake were assessed with a weighed 3-day food diary at week 4. Primary outcome measures are the percent change in non-HDL-C and sdLDL particle concentration from baseline to the end.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled parallel group clinical trial evaluating the effects of acute treatment with a PCSK9 inhibitor (alirocumab) versus placebo on low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in 100 high-risk patients presenting with STEMI and referred for primary PCI. The objective is to determine the effect of acute, rapid lowering of LDL cholesterol with alirocumab added to high dose statin therapy in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI. The hypothesis is that, in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI, rapid lowering of LDL cholesterol with a PCSK9 Inhibitor (alirocumab) initiated in the acute setting pre-PCI, will favourably affect LDL cholesterol concentrations compared with placebo.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of daily supplementation of Citron(Citrus Junos Siebold ex Tanaka) Peel Extract on improvement of Blood Cholesterol.

Determine the effects on lipoprotein profiles of high dose concentrated dietary SFA (saturated fatty acids) (from MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) oil + butter) in combination added to coffee. The study will be conducted as a RCT in healthy adults without cardiometabolic disease or conditions that influence lipoprotein metabolism or other specific dietary recommendations.

The main objective of the current study is to examine whether a high intake of regular-fat cheeses (Danbo and Cheddar) affect blood lipids differently than an isocaloric intake of either other fatty animal food products or of starchy carbohydrates. Furthermore, effects on fat digestibility, blood pressure, anthropometry, bile acid metabolism and insulin sensitivity is investigated. To do this, a randomized crossover intervention study with 3x14 days full diet periods (cheese diet, meat diet or carb diet)will be conducted in 16 postmenopausal women. Between the diet periods there will be at least 14 days of wash-out where the subjects eat their habitual diets. Fasting blood samples will be drawn before and after the diet periods, and also a non-fasting blood sample will be drawn after the diet periods. Furthermore, total feces is collected the last 5 days of each diet period.

Pro-Omega LDL reduces low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides in subjects with mixed hyperlipoproteinemia.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there are differences in postprandial metabolic indices following interesterified fats used in commercial spreads versus the corresponding un-interesterified blend.

Objective of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of administration of herbal supplements (Salacia leaf extract, Salacia root extract and Sesame seed extract) for 6 weeks in the management of prediabetes and mild to moderate hyperlipidemia.

Enhanced and prolonged postprandial triglyceride responses involve increased cardiovascular risk in type 2 diabetes. It has been demonstrated that dietary fat and carbohydrates profoundly influence postprandial hypertriglyceridemia in type 2 diabetes, whereas little information exists about the effect of proteins. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of the proteins casein, whey, cod, and gluten on postprandial lipid and incretin responses to a high-fat meal in type 2 diabetes.
